HE351 Common Rail: 13psi at 3500 steady-state RPM.
Load helps to create boost, since fueling increases with load, and fueling raises turbine inlet pressure, which provides more power to the compressor.
Plenty of load caused by 14-17:1 compression pumping losses and hundreds of pounds of rotating inertia and parasitic friction.
Not enough room here to list the many variables which explain the vast differences between direct observation data.
