your probably gonna see at best 15psi at idle and that is high your gauge will read higher than that always though as most companies dont want to hear complaints about low psi so they just set the gauge to about 30 at idle and call it good unless your psi actually does drop but from what ive heard the 7ms run about 75-80psi max on an actual gauge and the gte is even lower around 4-5000 rpm you might see 90 on a cold day and cold start but other than that your gauge is showing you what you want to see not what you need to see ... atleast as a general statement i havent checked our gauge yet as my stock gauge reads 0 all day but my aftermarket reads 8-11 at 600rpm idle and about 55 at 4-5000
