2000 V70 AWD Boost Question

How much boost should this car be pushing stock?

What is the maximum boost one should put through the engine?

I just finished a headgasket job on mine. It has 192K miles. The cylinders still had cross hatching and the bottom end feels pretty good.

I've only put about 20 miles on it since I got it running. The computer is not happy with the current boost levels. it is cutting out the boost around 2000 rpm.

I just bought a boost gauge, but I cannot get a good seal until drill and tap the fittings. I'll try to do that later today.

I'm also blowing oil out of the dip stick tube.

How much boost are you running? Be careful otherwise you'll be doing another HG job. If your blowing oil out of the dipstick you probably need to do the pcv repair.
