Default What boost should my97 saloon turbo be running?

Hi, just wondering what boost my 97 uk turbo awd 4 dr saloon should be running.
I get just under 10 psi under full load is this about right, i think it may be a bit low?

I think it should be 0.9 bar which is 12 PSI. So yes a bit low. Check all your pipes for splits and make sure everything is tight.

standard boost on your car is 0.7 bar, about 10 psi.
