factory boost

I have just installed a boost gauge with cutom mounts Ill have pics later.

What kind of boost numbers should I see with 100% stock MCS with only a CAI. nothing else. The highest I have seen is about 10psi at about 6K maybe a little over its tough to watch the road and the boost gauge.

Is this about right for a basically stock MCS

It must be the AZ air or something. Must be rich with NOS.
