Hey All,

Ive got a factory boost gauge in the dash just inside the speedo which is boost pressure but its in mmHg. Ive got -7 to +7

I have ever only had it reach about +3.5 at the most. Im running stock boost with no mods. I'm guessing this would be around the 7psi mark in the spool? Or is it something else?

Can anyone shed some light?

Thanks

hello paul ... i have the same problem in my car ... i've been told that i have a boost leak somewhere so u might wanna take it to someone and tell them to put a boost gauge on it and they can tell u what psi u are running ... i'm only running 6 right now and my gauge only goes up to where u've described. hope thats helped.

    • You do sorta. In my instance they were little specs and I didn't even think they'd be pin holes but it all makes sense now. Huge learnings there!
    • Ah ok that makes sense and it's where i think i went wrong because before when i put filler then putty, i didn't have this issue and now i do because i only put 1 coat of putty. Thanks for that heaps man, it's a good way to put it! With my putty I'm using the dolphin glaze which i just saw it says finishing putty lol. I didnt put filler cause it was a shallow area but i see what you're saying. Also I'm an idiot, i just realised that while i put new putty there are pinholes! I probably saw it before and ignored it for whatever reason. I think because i thought putty is used to fill pin holes that itself wont make pinholes but that's incorrect of course. I feel silly now haha. ok I think I know what to do next. Thanks man!
    • Yes correct, the guide coat is showing low spots, in this instance the low spots are pin holes. I agree wetting the areas makes it more visible (but you can see it's there before you wet it as well lol).  Once the panel is flat, the guide coat will be gone  
    • I wouldn't do it outside, the contamination landing in the paint, the wind and a million other things will drive you crazy.     That's a way too big of an area to use your single stage putty on.  Pretend it's all filler and those pin holes appeared, you'd then use the putty on those pin holes.  They are still pin holes, hmm I expect a few coats of high fill primer could deal with those. 
    • Oh i think i made some progress! Just fixed another simpler dent and the guidecoat is gone even when the area is wet! The filler shape now resembles that of the dent if that makes sense so it's flat. The photos are before during and after The only issue, i think i can feel a low spot lol.
