    Proper pressure for R134a freon

    what is the correct pressure for R134a freon. My car is converted to R134a and i think it runs at a higher pressure than the oem manual states. It states on the low side (the side i can measure) is to be 21 to 28 psi which i think is for R12. Shouldn't the R134a pressure be higher?
