about 17psi and you are maxing out the stock turbo, but most people throw in a custom ecm or some sort of boost control. standard is usually set at about 15.5-16 psi with an MBC or EBC. Only problem is with that, its easy to achieve part throttle full boost and run lean...which seriously f's up your engine.
i think i know why your friend is running such low boost. he probably bought a bov for the ricesound and the piston in it got stuck open, thus dropping boost.
