ford number 1 Donating Members 602 Member For: 20y 4m 23d Gender: Male Location: N/W Sydney Posted 19/01/06 09:19 AM Share Posted 19/01/06 09:19 AM I just installed a boost gauge in my car today and went for a drive with 8psi map.The boost peaked at 5psi but was mainly around 4psi.I pulled over and loaded in the 10psi map and the boost was exactly the same..Ive had the edit for just over a month and I have never been overly impressed with it.Now I know why..I will connect my boost gauge to a mates car tomorrow just to make sure!!Any ideas of what the problem could be..Not happy Jan..

If you fitted it your self contact who you bought it off..jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
