Does anyone know, with the stock boost gauge in the MR, the numbers stop at 1.5 bar but does the needle stop sweeping at 1.5 or will it go further?

I just got tuned, and in 6th it hits right at 1.5 bar.

Also, what size is the stock gauge? I might swap it out for one that reads higher than 1.5 bar just in case.

Thanks

 

I can't remember for sure but I think i've seen my boost go a but past the 1.5 bar mark maybe once or twice when I was trying to adjust my EBC. I'm not sure what the stock gauges sizes are maybe 40-45 mm? It wouldn't hurt to have a boost gauge that reads higher than 1.5 bar.

 

haha, yea, it will go past 1.5 bar, I have pushed to about 1.7 I think, maybe more. I honestly don't really look at it, to far away. Hence why I'm getting a autometer dual colum pod.

 

It goes a little bit past 1.5, but it's not accurate.

 

It doesn't read in bar it reads in KG and 1.5 is about 21 lbs so if you're hitting 1.7 on a tune that's not abnormal as that's around 24 lbs.

Check to see what you were tuned for during spool up.

 

Do you own a ruler or tape measure?

 

+1 a lot of people think the guage reads in bar. I didn't know either until I came across a thread a while ago.
