Boost Hunting Part1

[Big_daddy]

JUST FITTED MY NEW BOOST GAUGE 2DAY, LOOKS NICE FLOATING OF THE CORNER WIND SCREEN.

TO MONITOR BOOST ISSUE

HERE ARE THE RESULTS:

WHEN IDLE: ITS ON -0.8 VAC (SEE PIC)
WHEN ITS ON FULL TROTTLE ITS: 0.6

IS THIS NORMAL? ANY ELSE IS DIFFERNT?

tHE ONLY MODS ARE: VIPER CROOSS AIR FILTER, FORGE 007P DV, EXHAUST SYSTEM, THATS ABOT IT

Take the caps lock off buddy.

Yes if your car is standard (ie non remapped) these are normal readings

still cant explain, the lack of g force, wheel spins! back to the drawing board then.

I would get yourself some Vagcom action, start logging some values, airflow, boost delivered etc

It may be worth getting it RRed, for £20-40 you will find out if you are delivering any sort of power or not.

PS: I get loads of wheel spin but not that much g-force, personally I think you need a good 300bhp+ to get any sort of decent pinned to seat feeling

Gauge looks good, nice and bright
