stock turbo boost problem
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?

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.
