I think normal is around 1.0-1.3 bar.Try booting it in 5th gear and see what you have.You'll require more boost in the higher gear range.

14.6 psi = 1bar

so 15 psi is a little over 1.1 bar

Hope that helps

It would help more if it was right.

1 BAR is approx 14.5 PSI

Therefore

15 PSI is 1.03 BAR
