Look here for the pressures that should be set - Volkswagen Workshop Service and Repair Manuals > Golf Mk1 > Power unit | K-Jetronic/Ignition system | Mixture preparation system, mechanical injection | K-jetronic injection system | Checking warm-up valve
The good news is that the pressures can be adjusted by drifting the spigot post inside it in or out - you would need a pressure gauge to check it after though.
A better solution is to get a 16v or Audi 5 cylinder one as they had a screw adjustment ( once the brass cap was opened) allowing fine tuning of the control pressure. It also has a vacuum control that gives a fuel boost with sharp acceleration.
