you will need a properly functioning boost gauge when Al tunes your ride, check with ASTROEVO, he has an Autometer ultralite boost gauge for a killer deal, this is what I use and it is dead on. Good luck, you're going to love the Dynoflash

also, i thought i had a leak yesterday so i tightened the input and output of my buschar MBC. I am holding solid boost now but also noticed it going up slightly higher then normal. I need to know what im boosting so i can set it to exactly 20.5
I'm gettting a custom tune via AL so i want all my settings to be right before the tune.
I'm also on my stock BOV right now but im assuming my gauge is off because it shows 23psi max and tapers to about 21.

I use my boost gauge as a general reading, not a tuning tool. Now, before I get flamed for bashing AutoMeter, lemme say I still use it everyday, and it is still installed in my car.

Let Al, or whoever tunes your car, hook up their own boost gauge. They can easily do it from a different vacume source, or even the same one.
