Just installed a Stewart Warner boost guage..

And my 8 is boosting to 11-13psi. Is that what the stock 8 boosts to? I tried searching and came up short.

I would say that is really low, but I'm not an expert.


what boost gauge did you get 30" 25psi?

If so, does your 5psi not light up as good as the rest of the gauge. Or should I say the 12'oclock position kind of dim?

you sure it's reading psi, and not 1.3 to 1.4 BAR?
edit: nevermind I looked up stewert warner, and the gauges are pretty self evident.



make sure the tube for your gauge is not pinched or crimped anywhere.

Basically the1st owner tried to install plain jane vacuum lines back and revert to teh stock setup. You have to install the stock lines with the retsrictor pills and make sure the solenoids lines are hooked up to, without them you run the exact amount of wga boost = 11/12psi.

So if you dont have the restrictor pill in the gauge wont work? I have an XEDE, which means no restrictor pill, so can I not get the gauge to work?

Its not the gauge thats the issue, it was the stock boost setup. He wasn't boosting correctly because the wrong lines were reinstalled with the stock boost setup. The gauge was reading fine.
