I got the same exact yr and model u do and i installed a boost guage in it and it pushes 7 lbs stock, but i threw a getto boost controller on it and got 11 lbs out of it and she flies. don't worry bout over boostin cause i had my controller set a bit hi and the needle flew to 15lbs when i floored it and some valve opened (the one next to the bov) and the boost went to 5, so i guess vw was smart and put some saftey thing on there so i dosent blow.
