Post Boost question

My 88 944ts is chipped and has the LBE and my stock boost guage reads right on 2 (1 bar-14.6lbs). I recently found out that the guage has a stop set at 2 so you don't know if it 2 or more. Without intalling a better boost guage does anybody know what each extra lb. of boost generates in hp? I feel at 1 bar (2) I was making 250 hp at the rear wheels and when I return to the dyno and see ten more hp about how much more boost might that result from (1,2,3 lbs)?
