UWNTM3 Member 78 Member For: 13y 3m 6d Gender: Male Location: Bathurst NSW Posted 22/10/12 07:34 AM Share Posted 22/10/12 07:34 AM Hey guys just installed a boost gauge and the gauge goes up to 12-13 psi when u give it abitI thort a stock fg was around 9 or 10 psi?Is there any reason why it goes that high? Could I have done somthing wrong? I put t piece in the bov vac line?Just because it goes that high I assume that means its running that boost? Or do u wait for it to drop in higher reca to tell how much pai u are running?This is my first turbo car and I have never tried reading a boost gauge before, Sorry if its a stupid question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it's that high though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsnot said this should be fine. could also be the saas guage? Because they're relatively cheap they could be less accurate, not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
