My 92 always behaved weirdly....

At some point it decided that it would spike to about 20psi and then drop to 16-17psi and then start to taper 6-7lbs towards redline and then it would creep up again as redline approached and it started to out flow it's wastegate.
I tried many different boost solenoids but ultimatley behavoir was the same. Towards the end it became inconsistent and would sometime boost a lot and then sometimes only base. This wasn't an solenoid issue, but ultimately I just put in base boost for it's new owner (who would prefer to run lower octane gas then get more power)
The car did have a 3" JT turbo back system and a k&n in the fender well. Base boost was never adjusted and stayed at 5psi. I suspected wastegate issues with the 160K+ turbo, but I'll never know...
As far as max HP for the car in general 250-275 is possible with stock injectors, the 275 being representing intake, full exhuast, 93 octane and temperate climate.
