Turbo boost levels

I have a 2010 PTT with a Vivid Racing tune and I am wondering what other members with stock PTT are seeing for boost levels. In sport I get up to 14.9 lbs of boost and in sport plus I see 15.9 lbs of boost. It is plenty fast at those boost levels but I really thought I might see higher numbers after the tune. I wasn't smart enough to write down my pre-tune boost levels.
So if you have a turbo could you please let me know what kind of numbers you are seeing?
Thanks.
Paul

Thanks for your reply! Sounds like you are getting much more boost than I am. Does your boost gauge flash orange when on overboost? I haven't seen mine do that. Part of the problem is that when I floor it the car is hitting over 120 mph in a few seconds, and that is jail time around my area.
I might also put on my narrow driving shoes and make sure I am actually getting the gas pedal all the way to the floor, maybe I am just not triggering overboost.

Turns out that if you wear smaller shoes and push the gas pedal all the way to the floor the boost gauge does flash orange. In sport I saw 16.9 psi. I will try and see what I get with sport plus next.

I now have seen the boost gauge flash orange in both sport and sport plus. That indicates the overboost you can get with the sport chrono package. Turns out my gas pedal seems to have 2 stages. What seems to be floored, then mash it harder and it goes further.

Yes, it has the "German car" switch underneath the accel pedal.
