in order for me to hit 100kpa or 15 psi i have to hammer it in 3rd or 4th.
last night it was about minus 10 celcius, below freezing. 10 above freezing i could get only 12psi on regular gas.

cannuck, back to your original post, in ideal conditions running 93 octane I frequently see 15psi, I can always get at least 12psi as long as I have enough room to wind it out. You need RPM to get full boost. It comes up to 10psi or so upon initial peddle mash, then builds with RPMs.

My question about octane was to Razz2o4, but... To hit 15psi you need maximum acceleration , and let the revs build up a bit. Do you have a manual or auto?

If you guys are still paying $.79/liter for regular gas, I don't even want to know what you have to pay for 94 octane

Also, what units do the Canadian boost gauges read?

The Canadian boost guages read in KPA. The link above is to a conversion tool.
