Same thing on this one. Not trying to diss but just want people to get the right info. Usually car manufacturers like to quote the the boost levels based on the actual boost levels (stable readings). So if it is rated at 17.4 and spikes at 19.4 then they would use 17.4. No one quotes the spike reading unless they are trying to compensate the "boost spike" so they don't blow the motor. Nothing a good wastegate and boost controller can fix.
