(He can't drive it on street cos it hasn't got WA rego yet)Does this mean I will be fixing the gauges already with autometer ones or is this normal?cheersKevo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a mechanical one and it'll tell you the exact boost. I found the stock one takes ages to read anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`m told this is how the factory tune works. So if I drive along holding the revs at 4000 say it doesnt get full boost unless I flatten the pedal.
