Default What dictates a lot of boost?

Hey everyone, I just want to know everyones opinion of what a lot of boost is?
8psi? 12psi? 1Bar? 18psi? 1.5Bar? 2.Bar? I'm really curious.

Enough to break whatever you got...it's all relative

9 PSI and less = low boost

10-17 PSI = medium boost

18 PSI and up = high boost

and like Speed Preak said its also relative..

Dad's truck = 30 psi + 10:1 = 195 hp / 420 ft.lb
My old Volvo = 14 psi + 7.5:1 = (but mechanical fuel injection = )
Stock B18C5 + 13 psi =

It depends on the use and engine management.
