sup all:

i am jealous at those who're boosting 19 PSI or more peak.

i just had my boost gauge installed. (mechanical)

here's the reading:

VACUUM: 19 (idle)
PEAK BOOST: 17 PSI !!!!! tappered off to 16 PSI.

i need tuning reallll baddddd....

am i only the one boosting 17 PSI peak?

give me ur opinions guys!

thx

 

Maybe your gauge is calibrated wrong... Mine reads 10-15 at idle and 19.5 peak.

 

how do i calibrated correctly? do u think i should take it back to the place where i install it? what should i say to them?

 

if they calibrated to 10-15 at idle, do you think my boost PSI will increase?

 

I've never had a autometer gauge, always ran with Apex or Greddy, but I have seen them and they don't look like the best put together gauges. There are many factors to not running a "good" boost number, maybe you have a small leak when you installed your gauge?

i had it installed.
i didn't do it myself

 

im reading in KPA... idle at -53 vacuum

-17 in psi

 

vERY simple fix, I had the same exact problem. The stock IC clamps are not tight enough and leak out, just open your hood, take off your stock Ram air intake, and tighten all the clamps you see as tight as you can, wala, 19psi.

 

if someone uses the word wala again, i'll blow someones brains out

does quoting someone count as "using" it?

 

vwuhaaaaalaaaaaaahhh

 

umiami80:
i will try it tomorrow morning.
i'll let u know the result.
i thought what caused it was my CHEAP *** Autometer gauge...LOL....

 

last time i used an autometer boost gauge it was roughly 2 psi off... when shutting the car off the needle didn't even sit at 0, i'd highly recommend sticking with JDM gauges.
