boost gauge - see if you got boost leak...

 

hey guys, about gas i just moved to CA and started using that ****ty gas. although i did not feel almost any power loss i know i did loss couple whp. anyways, their is a gas stations right next to my house called G&B it looks good and new so i started using it because the y are like 15c cheaper do you guys have any thoughts about this gas station.

 

lol, MOBIL 1 OR DAMN - Shell ok ? ....

 

Well, I just installed the gauge, and I hit 1.4 bar consistently. I must be going out of my mind, as that is over 19.5 psi. I idle at 450mmhg (or 17.x inhg) which is perfect as well. Maybe I'm crazy?

 

I would take mine to a reputable EVO 8 performance shop and have them take a look at it.

Az3ar,

I would definitely avoid the no-brand-name gas stations.

Chevron, Mobil, Unocal 76, or Shell is all I use (here in SoCal anyway).

 

Keep in mind, Greddy boost gauges do not run exactly in bars, but in kgf/cm2. Try this link for conversions.

Also, have your dealer, check the voltage on your boost solenoid, they have been known to go out.

Good luck.

 

Yeah, but the two measurements are practically the same.

I'll do the solenoid thing, but I doubt I'd be getting full boost with a problem like that.
