too much boost??
Hi guys,
I recently installed a VDO boost gauge in my car. Just did the boost pattern test. Came up with 12-10-15. I checked it more than once to be sure. It held at 15 all the way to 7000 rpm. I'm thinking that 15 psi on secondary boost is too high.
I have 47k on the car. I believe it is the original motor & turbos.
Mods:
DP, M2 ecu upgrade, Stock airbox mod, efini y-pipe.
Any suggestions or comments would be welcomed.
Thanks, Adam

I think that the cat is ok. The car has passed smog. I don't think it would pass if the cat was gutted.
The gauge is new, and it did give me the expected readings for the first two parts of the test. Because of that I'm guessing that the gauge is working right.
It looks like I need a boost controller??
