one method is to buy a boost guage and attach it to the rubber hose from your turbo to the fuel pump with a "T" fitting. apparently you can buy swimming pool pressure guages for cheap($10cdn). I got an autometer one for about 75cdn. I have the same engine and run 19psi all the time w/o an intercooler yet but I'm sure it will handle more.
