Boost and vacuum pressure on my aum
« on: 07 January 2015, 20:17 »
Hello, I've recently fitted a boost gauge and am wondering what the average boost levels and vacuum levels are on the aum?  I always get 9 psi when booted until about 5k and it slowly dies down can't remember my vacuum level, just wanted to know what others are getting, cheers

If your car is standard (map wise) which I'm guessing it is then that's what is expected. In terms of vacuum you should see a reading anywhere between 20-25.

It is standard mate, Im getting 30 at idle that must mean I have a vac leak somewhere?

No if you had a vac leak then the needle would be bouncing between numbers not just sitting at 30.
