Default is it normal?

to receive a boost gauge in the post, unwrap it, then blow down the fitting whilst looking in a mirror to see how much you can register?

obviously, i'm asking for a "friend"

you either have the lungs of a blue whale, or you're a convincing liar!

it's a 1.5bar gauge, and i barely made it register. but then i am weak.

worst bit was seeing the mrs with a "what the f#ck are you doing" look on her face. she was quite unable to speak!
