Its more dependent on load than RPMs, up a good hill flat in fourth I see around 14 psi
Motorway at 75 around 5 psi unless gradient or headwind increases load or you want to squirt into another lane when it can hit 14 psi again, off load revving the motor I wouldnt see more than 2 or 3 psi, just had Bryn over for the day, he showed me how to tweak Roto fuel pump, was running 20 psi on his 1.7 TZD until gasket failure!
