New to turbo's, interpreting the boost gauge
New to turbo's, interpreting the boost gauge
just installed my boost gauge and just trying to see if this thing is reading correctly as it is very active. I wasn't expecting it to be so active....
It's a VDO Vision vaccuum/boost gauge from 42draft designs.
With the engine off, the needle sits slightly lower than 0.
With the engine on, at idle the vaccuum sits around 20 in/hg
Just cruising, no accelleration, vaccuum sits around 10 in/hg
WOT, it'll go to roughly 18-19 psi and taper off to 16 or so @ redline.
Engine braking, vaccuum is around 25 in/hg or so
Does this sound like "normal" #'s?
Thanks in advance.
