What I said was, the gauge is sitting on the bump stop at the very bottom, when the car is on tick over! |
well you do have a vacuum at tickover I guess.. sombody else answer this haha
|
I'm sure mine does this but I can't tell for sure til tomorrow when I drive it, does it move once you pull away ? If it does I doubt you have a problem.

to pass the bump stop on the bottom of the gauge when on tick over,i though that on tick over the gauge use to sit about half way between bottom and zero on the gauge, just looks as if the needle is going to bend,,:sad::sad: |
Mine goes down to -0.6 bar but I can't remember if it goes to the bump stop on tickover.

can anyone else help me clear this up:sad::sad: |
does it sit at 0 when the engine is stopped? if it does, this is correct.
and it should pull down to nearly the bump stop (depending whether it has any air leaks or a aftermarket dump valve etc) when running at idle or on the overrun. |

mine sit at zero when engine has stopped and -0.6 when im ticking over and raise when u boot it hope that helps

as mine is sitting on the bump stop when ticking over,though that it looked like it was to low:sad::sad: now the fun of trying to find out why.. |
mine rests on the'' bump stop'' at tick over then climbs towards boost easily then on to boost then moves like a rev counter does(very freely) -you know you can drive around all day not using the boost!!!!!!!!if you wish-dont push the engine.
ive also got a dumper on mine at the fuel end as against the air intake end. -no lag -just pulls+pulls+pulls (AS IT SHOULD) |
