Exclamation Scooby boosting

My scooby is boosting at 0.8psi at full boost and i have been looking at some others and they seem to be boosting at around 1.2-1.4psi standard ? Its a 03 bugeye. Im just wondering if 0.8 is about right or what do i need to check/replace ? The car is not standard its got quite a few modifications on it and is due a re-map after i put the injectors on.
Regards Justin.

Stock boost pressure on a 2003 should be 0.9BAR, which is approx 13.05psi. 1.2 - 1.4Bar boosting isnt standard at all.

What Mods do you have currently?

Dude come on, with those mods the words look in to it is just crazy talk.

Go get a remap, get your car running like it should be doing before you do serious damage to the engine

And you will gain Alot more power
