Not really, simply because every boosted application would be different as it would be air flow dependent. The amount of airflow to make 5 psi on a stock engine would be less then that of a higher flowing engine with different cams or such.

Remember, boost is just the measurement of air flow on a CLOSED intake valve.

Also, centrifugal VS Eaton VS turbocharged would be so very different.

Boost gauge is the best measuring tool, digital is what I like.
