What psi should i be getting?

Okay well i have a HKS down pipe, HKS RS intake kit, and apexi N1 catback along with the stock main cat. Car felt pretty good yesterday when it was getting tuned. But, how much boost should i be getting from the first turbo? How about the 2nd turbo? My wastegates are ported as well. Just curious on what i should be getting as far as psi patterns.

On a correctly running sequential system, shouldn't it be 10, then 8 when the second turbo comes online, then back up to 10?

Why 10-8-10? Im just curious is all. And once i get a boost controller then how does that fall into play? And what RPM should i be seeing these numbers? Im pretty new to all this because i just converted her from auto so this was the first weekend i could really play with her. I do like the sequential setup though. Some what frustrating, but i know once i fix it it's gonna be nice.

10-8-10 is the proper boost pattern because it is what the stock ECU is programmed to provide fuel for. Any more boost on the stock ECU and you run begin to run lean, which is not good.

As far as the aftermarket boost controller goes, it's a safer option to control boost than the stock setup. However, just because you can increase boost with it doesn't mean you should. Keep it at 10psi.
