With the key on but engine off it should be 36-38psi. With the key on engine off and the line pinched it should be 71-106psi. At idle it should be 28-32psi. Mine is actually higher 45psi at idle, or my gauge is off. It runs fine though.

And for boost conditions: 36-38PSI at 0 psi boost, above 0psi boost it is 36-38 + boost. Thus for 12psi boost, fuel pressure should be 36-38 + 12 = between 48 and 50 psi fuel pressure.

Most of this is in the Mazda Maintenance Manual. The first tool one should buy!
