The boost pressure measured is really only an indication of restriction(the amount of air you're trying to jam in there in relationship to the amount of air the engine would take in on it's own. Too many variables to calculate properly.
As a matter of fact, if you compare measured boost pressure before and after changing something major such as camshaft or cylinder heads, the better flow after will usually result in lower boost but more power.
