plumbed my new boost gauge in today and its all bin plumbed in correctly,but when i took it out for a spin earlier it only seemed to boost up to about 6 PSI on the gauge BUT it feels as quick as fook and i was expecting to see about 10 or 12 as the previuos owner had a bleed valve on it ( coming off as soon as poss) so ithought ill get a boost gauge to see what its actually producing BUT it seems really odd that its flying along and only reading 6PSI .having had 2 s2"s before i know wot a standard car feels like and it certainly dont feel standard,but AFAIK it is???
(or is it where i havent driven a standard one for a few years ive actually forgotten how quick they were for a standard car back in the day )
could the gauge be misreading???

any ideas welcome peeps

my Autogauge boost gauge under reads too.

I never see above 15 psi on the gauge but my car hits 18psi on the rollers with a proper boost gauge.

it never used to do it, only ever since i moved it from the heater vent tot he A pillar.

what does your gauge read when its off? should read 0 mine is on -4 lol

 

dave,jus below the zero

as long as its not just me then

Sounds like the vacuum hose leading to the gauge is leaking.

 

My Autometer gauge reads spot on....in comparison to the RR's calibrated gauge

 

mine too reads spot on

 

sorry fellas is that auto GAUGE or auto METER ones you got??
