Some gauges may read more some less but a gauge that truly zeros will read just a tad over 12psi.

In 100% stock form the bypass system will not let it make more than 12.5psi.

Hmm...by car Im sure you are referring to Cobalts because if you strap 6psi on an LS1 you be be in the low 12s or high 11s.

Check the vacuum lines. There have been people that test drove one and had low boost. The problem was a vacuum line that had fallen off or hadn't been attatched. You should be seeing around 10-12.
