Title: Boost gauge showing a vacuum on idle 1.8t
Post by: brianpologti on 12 July 2011, 16:27

Just fitted a boost gauge to my aqu mk4 1.8t in the fpr vacuum line and was wondering is it normal to have a vacuum on idle ,pulled the gauge off and you can feel it sucking , Cheers , boost ti 18 psi abd then drops to 15psi at about 4,500rpm
