of course, the "correct" or the "normal" pressure varies with rpm.  'Cordin to one shop I consulted, the 2.1 waterboxer should run at 29 psi at 2000 rpm.  I'd think the warning levels would say to us that those are the minimum levels (above that "normal") for low and high rpm.  I believe that is 0.3 bar at low rpm, and 0.9 bar at high rpm.  Now, what are low and high rpm?  Idle = 900 rpm when set to factory specification, correct?
