18.5 lbs of boost in my countryman.

I'm getting readings of 18.3 to 18.5 in the later gears with my tuned 2011 countryman, running 91 to 94 octane depending where I gas up in the city. What are some thoughts on the car running this amount of boost. What kind of hp and tq do you think the engine is producing at this point. No cell lights or anything out of the ordinary, other than the car eventually leading me to speeding tickets lol. Any replys would be greatly appreciated.

How is it tuned? I have a Manic stage 2 tune and I see 18psi whenver I get on it. I've read that anything under ~22psi is pretty safe. I hope you have supporting mods like intercooler, dp and exhaust otherwise you could be damaging your turbo with backpressure and causing knock from high intake temps.

That's a pretty good result. I was concerned when I saw 17.6 with my JB but burger assured me that is normal. Over 18 psi sounds questionable.

I just bought The car A Short While Ago, well everything seems stock, the car is surly hauling *** atm, no problems thus far as cel lights go and things of that nature. I actually creeped into the 19psi range in 5th gear yesterday,
