Default boost

i have a series 2 rs turbo and its nearly standard i have put a scorpion exhaust on and a k&n filter with a -31 actuator i put a boost gauge in to see what boost its running and it says 11 psi and its a standard ecu. just wondering if that boost is safe with the standard ecu with fueling and other things
thanks

it should boost shut off at about 10psi...so if yours is running 11psi it must be holding less unless it has been chipped...

standard is about 6/8psi..
