Was it spiking that high or actually holding it? If it was holding it then yeah you have a factory freak but if it just spiked that high and settled down then its normal.

thanks! Everyone and their mother gawks at the car and wants to race me.
i drive about minding their own business, while everyone else tries to catch up to me and pass me. after I detailed the car this afternoon, I too a spin out to Long island and when I pulled away from my block a Black STi rode my A$$ till the highway, too bad we werent going the same direction.
And about the bees, yes, I find all sorts of insects swarming around the car and sitting on the paint...

after spiking to 1.46-1.50 bar it drops to 1.35-1.36 bar about 19.5 psi

I gotta go over all my factory intercooler hose clamps and tighten them and search for possible boost leaks from the factory..

I guess I was crazy also but my stock 05 evo spikes up to 23 psi from 2nd gear and on but quickly falls to about 20 psi and then falls to about 16.5 at 7000 rpm. i guess im not the only one with a factory freek. These 05 run tons of boost from the factory.
