From what I've read, stock is supposedly 10 to 10.5 psi, just an intake is rumored to increase boost by 1 to 1.5 psi because the stock airbox is so restrictive, and the 15% pulley is supposed to increase it around 4 psi... this is of course assuming that all of your seals are tight.

I've seen a max of about 14.5 to 15 psi with a 15% reduction pulley & steel-mesh cone..
