boost gauge readings

[golfgar]

What should the gauge be on,say on ideal,and when being driven?just put mine in,its a revo i bought off of the stink,if you look at the gauge you got 0 in the  9 0clock postion then you have 0 to 30 goin anti clockwise and the same goin clockwise,on ideal mine is on -20,rev it and it goes to +5,i got a feeling this isnt right any thoughts ?

idle sounds about right - 20

is your car remapped? Standard PSI should be around 8-9PSI though but thats full throttle and under heavy engine load i.e. 4th gear

dont think its been remapped,i havnt driven it since i fitted the gauge,just reved it to about 6500 and it went up to 5,fed the pipe through the bonnet release cable grommet in the end as i didnt have enough pipe to go the way you suggested Rhys

no good just revving it an idle as you're not loading up the engine fully 

really?    its about the same distance i would have thought although I guess it depends where you tap in for your boost gauge

ran it across bulkhead near diverter and upto the FPR,think it saved about 3-4 inches and gave me just enough to do it. :smiley:will take it up the ringroad later and see what it reads then.

ah I forget you have a longer run - mine plumbs in on the drivers side so a much shorter run 

[golfgar]

just been up the ringroad,and you were bang on Rhys 8-9psi under load,alls good for now
