you bought a 30k car and put ebay gauges in it, no wonder they break its cheap. and if you searched you would find that turbocharged cars don't need a intake as a first mod. The reason your not making alot of power cause your not tuned, get it tuned and you will see a big difference trust me.

Those numbers sound about right.

Pm me if you are ready to buy another boost gauge.

Edited: I agree with the above post.

If you have a look in the drivetrain or most vendor forums, you'll see answers to your questions.

If you're running an exhaust, you should get a tune.
