yep they have a ratio of 8.7:1 versus 9.3 -10.0 : 1 for NA engines...

the 10.0 is kinda a misleading figure since that applies to the b200 (rather than the b230) so we are left with 9.3-9.7 depending on the b230 NA....

and you should be seeing in the region of 117 psi, and a variance of no more than 2 bar (28psi)..I actually wouldnt worry to much about the figures, as long as they arnt WAY low (Or high) but concentrate on the variance...after all you dont know how accurate your tester is...but the differences will be common..
