how to fit boost guage

What should a 1.8t AUM car with a stage 1 remap be boosting to?
Is just over .5 bar ok? Guess that around 7psi

Should be more than that

Mine is AGU remapped with K03 and sees a healthy 14psi so AUM with k03s should see same if not more if remapped.

7 or 8 Psi is standard im sure

Mine peaks at 20psi and holds at 15psi, 7psi is about right for a standard AUM.

When my mate bought the car 2 months ago I suspected the owner had
lied about a few things,
He told my mate the car had an upgraded SMIC, It doesnt.
He was told it had a remap, there is a printout in the folder however there isnt no reg on it so it
could be from anycar.
He was told it had a new clutch, More bull as it went last week so we fitted a new one.

I fitted a Boost gauge today and its only hitting .5 bar so Im guessing the remap was bull aswell or there is something up.
Car drives nice and pulls really well



He is new to cars and alittle wet behind the ears, He went to get the car alone so his knowledge was limited

Isnt standard boost about 9psi?

Nope around 6 to 8psi I believe, my AUQ was around 8 as standard then 18 with the remap.

He is going to be so happy, lol

Well he has bought a full stainless 3" exhaust and the intercooler will be bought tomorro,
It has a recirc valve so it will find some more boost when it gets taken to R-tech in the next few months.


Thanks
