Disappointed =[
I just bought an autometer c2 boost gauge
and i was extremely happy with it until it showed me where I was boosting.
12 PSI =[
Im going to datalog the car over the weekend but im still upset. My car is stock except for exhaust. Im planning on adding a mbc soon so Im hoping if anything that will fix my boost problem. Im also hoping the gauge is just off because my car feels really quick to be at a 7 psi loss. Until the weekend though I wont no so Im just sad for now. Any quick ways to check for boost looks?

I have 5 Autometer Carbon series and they are all spot on! You could have a boost leak like others suggested, or you could be missing the inline pill that goes to your wastegate. When i swapped out new vac. lines with my new boost controller I got 12psi. found the pill inserted it back inline, 22psi all day long.

probably not the gauge... I'm going to guess that your vaccum lines are not correctly connected to your solenoid... swap them and I bet you'll be back in business. FWIW, you can order the entire boost line set from Mits as one part number... kinda cool.

I don't think it's the gauge either. I have a Prosport gauge and I love it!! I work as an Instrument Tech so I had the standards to test my gauge. It's dead on. So sometimes the whole "Get what you pay for" doesn't always apply.
