Default Driving with Turbo

Now, this is my first time driving a turbocharged car.. just trying to get an idea on how things should be

i have t3/t04b 50 trim .48 a/r and it builds boost instantly, this is on stock type r motor.

now, i just want to find out what vacuum/pressure should i stay around or under when driving normal, would reaching 0psi on alsmost every shift be o.k? or woudl reaching a little past 0psi (maybe 1psi) at every shift be o.k., or should i try to watch it and stay under certain vacuum?

Often times in order to get decent acceleration for normal driving I have to go up to 0 psi with my T3 (.42/.48)

i'll usually go up to 0-2 psi on normal acceleration. it doesn't put too much undue stress on the car, assuming you're tuned well. however, any boosting will hurt your fuel mileage of course.
