That's a good place to get a good/accurate reading for actual boost. And 4 psi sounds about right for a low pressure turbo. A stock high pressure turbo pushes about 9.849psi. So I would imagine a low pressure turbo to be about half that. Most aftermarket chip manufacturers for the high pressure turbos only get to about 13.965psi. Any higher and the stock wastegate makes any other increases useless.

To answer your question again, 4psi sounds about right.
