Default what is standard boost?

wondering what the standard boost level is for a classic turbo year 2000? i have a boost gauge reading in bar and it is a little short of 1 bar, is this normal? holds that level nice and consistently.

I have a MY95 JDM Impreza and the boost level reads 0.5 bars on full boost, have already reset the ECU and it is staying at this. Is this right?

It should be higher than this, about 0.9 or 1 bar.

Anybody know why it would be running under boost then? Reset the ECU, no error codes or anything, any checks i can do myself to find out why?

Have an EVC which i can use to run the car at any boost. Cheers for any advice
