Most Honda B-series and D-series motors are between 3-7 PSI.

ya i think my guage is messed becuase im getting just as much pressure with the line unhooked at the turbo as i was about a month ago. plus the guage isnt even zeroing, its way below zero (the way it comes in the package). ill check the connections, im sure just a ground got bumped.
