anyone that's never done a boost leak test, even if the car is brand spankin new, should do one. you'd probrably be suprised. in my experience, the factory gauge and the autometer gauge that i later bought were both reading different off the same line and were both wrong. one read low and the other read high. i now run a greddy electronic that is accurate.

 

i may be wrong but 1.3 bar is pretty close to 20psi...(someone had a chart on here somewhere)....maybe 1.35...anyways...that is the max the stock will go (20.5 psi)..or something like that

 

I've never really used mine, it's kind of in a bad spot. I got a HKS EVC and mounted it on the steering column.

 

I have 16,000 miles on my IX and the tranny is still notchy. I think it just some with the territory with the 5spd. It got a lil bit better once i switched the tranny to synthenic fluids
