I have no idea (well, maybe three to five psi) but why don't you put your aftermarket boost gauge on it and see

EDIT: Naw. I guess again and say five to ten.

The output pressure is pretty irrelevant. All that matters is whether water is squirted onto the glass in sufficient quantities. It did when it was new (and mine still does 15 years later) so if yours doesn't then you probably have a blockage somewhere. Check the nozzles with a pin (most likely cause) and check the lines too.
