Hook up a mechanical hydraulic air gauge and it should give a fairly accurate measurement. Or as mentioned once on a dyno, hooking up the manifold pressure sensor will also give an accurate measurement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R-SPEC You are a dead set goose Silver Donating Members 3,968 Member For: 18y 11m 14d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 13/03/08 01:05 AM Share Posted 13/03/08 01:05 AM Mine runs a bees dick over 0.5BAR (JUST under 8psi) in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, then if I hold my foot down in 4th, 5th and 6th it reads 0.6BAR exactly, which is about 8.7 PSI, which is exactly what showed up on the Nizpro dyno...Obviously under more load it uses more boost or full boost. I can hear the boost bleeding out in the latter example, sounds like two separate whoosh sounds at the same time...Anyone else heard this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
