WAN73D Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 hey guys I've just installed a boost gauge onto my r32 gtst which has pod filter, high flow cat ,and cat back exhaust. Now i know that when u put the exhaust on u can see upto around 10psi. The thing is my boost gauge tells me i have around 11.25 psi, when we all know that the stock wastegate actuator is 10 psi...so is it my guage or am i missing something here i have t'd the gauge off from the stock boost gauge line. anyone know anything about this?

BHDave Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 It's about right. Account for a bit of inaccuracy in the gauge and unknown dump/exhaust/cat/mufflers will put you somewhere there. The stock actuator is "roughly" 10psi is more accurate.

WAN73D Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share Posted February 2, 2007 ahh...i see. Yeh i think ur right it must be a "rough" figure mixed in with a lil bit of boost gauge innaccuaracy. just by the sounds of it tho on these forums people were saying its a definate 10 psi actuator, no more no less. there u have it people, i have been running 11.25 psi (at least) on my stock r32 for at least 1.5 years and the turbo hasn't gone boom!

I have one of these on my R33 it seems to run 9psi to 5000rpm then 11psi till redline used to do the same thing on the R32 it came off. Any ideas why and yes the 2 stage boost soliniod has been disconnected cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/154223-just-installed-boost-gauge/#findComment-2873644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taso84 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 dump pipe specifically will do that, only happens close to redline eh Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/154223-just-installed-boost-gauge/#findComment-2874826 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RellikZephyr Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 11.25psi that seems like one very accurate guage RellikZephyr Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/154223-just-installed-boost-gauge/#findComment-2875192 Share on other sites More sharing options...
