Normally you can squeeze about 16, 17psi out of them for a split second peak but hold around 14.5 (1 bar) on a Stage 1.

16psi ish; but assuming you are on yellows, you've got to be careful they arent maxed out

you see some yellow do 300hp and some only do 250hp, so you've got to be careful - fueling check will be good advise if its a new car

Theyre dark blue mate

I think im underboosting then, not quite hitting a bar BUT i'm unsure if i trust the cheap looking gauge TBH!

Reasonably priced without going ott gauges?

should be ok then on blues (if my memory serves me correctly!)

persoanlly i'd get it set up by someone who's got the ability to do a fueling check too, it could be loads of reasons why you're not getting full boost. shouldnt cost any more than Ł200 for a set up/check

it could be the actuator needs adjusting for more boost or the actuator could be fooked
