How much boost do you run??

I read a post a while back on NZMMC with regards to how much boost everyone runs, the most common range on there was 12-15 psi but I was quite supprised at how many mitsi's were running 18 plus psi!!

So I though I'd post this on a number of different car manufacures forums and gauge a feel from a brands side of things. So Mitsubishi, Toyota, Nissan, and Subaru.

iv had mine tuned with 4 maps changable via a lap top wache tuned for different boost, one for 17 and one for 22and the other two have differnt things like launch controll etc etc stuff i dont want to run on the road

gonna take time to get used too i think might keep it on low boost for a while
