IIRC my MIG setup likes 10-12 psi.

I found that when I first set the machine up, and have not had to adjust since.

just a good tid bit of advise on welding gas... i started by using the normal mix welding gas, but i found i went thru it a lot and got pricy to refill ($35), so a good ol guy told me to use strait CO gas.. and its half the price of mix gas, and lasts 3 times longer. since then ive been using nothng but strait CO. it welds just as good.

just thought id share a good tip that was passed on to me from an old guy that been welding for 30 something yrs, now im passin it on!
