I just got my swap done and drove it today. Its only boosting to 6-7 max psi. I think the mechanical boost gauge is ok because its vacuum is reading 20 at idle. When I pinch off the vacuum hose on the side of the turbo the boost goes through the roof until fuel cut! Is this normal for a stock 1991 st185 with top mount intercooler to only get 6-7 psi? I thought it should be about 10-12 psi. Or is that psi only possible with modifications to the wastegate? Thanks for the help!

I had the same low boost mode when I got my swap done and it was due to a restrictive exhaust. What exhaust size are you running?
