edge Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Mine does not move on tickover just if you rev it a bit. What boost guage is it? Does it have the right range and some guages read differently and go off the scale when boosting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraJames Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Brett the gauge should read 0 on idle as does not have a minus reading, the gauge will also read from 1psi up to 30 psi (approx 2.2 bar) so should be plenty of range. Stock boost levels are around 8 psi on ful boost. As I said the gauge is mechanical not electrical so is slightly slower to respond but all works fine and looks cool to Pic below is where I had the feed for the gauge taken off.
