there's is no "normal" with a stock tc. the car will either add or take away boost as needed to hit the 260 torque target. so boost will be different depending on temperature, altitude, etc.

wow, i wish I got 130 mpg... but I have had it up to 150 mph before I had to let off for traffic... that was a full 20 psi and like 3 mpg! I ran it like that for about 10 miles... I loved it. And the car felt like it wanted to go faster.

I live in north carolina, its been constantly around 40 degrees, mine shoots up to 14, then peaks 17, but when it was like 75 i was boosting like 19, peaking 22.....keep in mind of your break in periods, you wont reach 100% boost until after your 10,000 miles....i just got my car in october, its an 09, and im not past the 10,000, but soon it will be, but i couldnt wait so i just got tuned and all hahn products......

Pretty soon, whenever hahn comes out with the kit, im getting the gt35r turbo kit, but i have no idea how much boost i should run, or can run, on this stock motor....what internal mods should/can i do first, in order to be able to have alot of boost...im thinking like 25psi on the 35r?

You will have to clamp your map sensors so the computer does not see you are seeing more than 22.5 psi for three seconds. Other wise the ECM will slam the throttle shut on you.
