How can I test my turbos

without a boost gauge? I am not sure I am getting the proper performance out of my stock turbos.

Thanks!

Just go to the auto parts store and buy a $20 vacuum/boost gauge and some vacuum tubing. Run the tubing from the intake manifold nipple to inside the car. Run the boost test and watch the gauge.

That sounds crazy enough that it just might work.

Thanks!
