Since I have gotten my car the boost gauge at full boost reads about half gauge. For some reason just now I went and took a ride and now it reads about 3/4-7/8 gauge which I figured was about 6.8psi or 350 mm hg... so whats up with this? It feels like its actually making the boost and its not just the gauge. Something up with my wastegate?

 

is this the stock boost guage??

where in bham are you..im in hoover

 

yes its stock gauge, and im in leeds, used to live in hoover and still go there several times a week

 

If you're not hitting fuel cut you're still perfectly safe, BUT you really need an aftermarket boost gauge to get proper reading from. This should be the first mod you ever do to a turbo car.

 

Its on the way with a few other goodies

 

if you want to meet up and check out each others cars then i am available most weekends and get off work around 7...i thought there were only 1 or 2 turbo 7s around here...

your boost guage is probubly wrong either that or your boost sensor is going bad....i have an aftermarket setup on mine if you want to check that out...my # is 205 913 2022

 

im about 3 hours south of you guys...haha..i just bought a 87 turbo over the weekend and am in the process of gutting it out and cleaning it but this damn rain has hindered my plans

 

i know how you feel i was about to start removal of my emmisions, and make a cold air box while i was out of school and off work but no it just has to rain.....

 

so did i, only one ive seen previously was brians, from bnr turbos, which is in moody/branchville. might meet up some time. im ussualy free on the weekends. i have a freind what lives in hoover who is also about to buy a t2 soon. so there will be 3 of us soon in hoover

 

hell ya thats awesome..we need to have a meet some time... my drift team is always welcoming new arrivals...AlDrift.org as long as people arent ******** and have a good mood about things then they are cool.
