R33 Boost, Help!

[Sepp]

Hi all

I recently bought an Auto R33 Turbo, and have noticed when i give it full throttle the stock boost gauge only read 4 pounds at a maximum, even though i'm flat chat. Is this normal or is this a problem????

THANKS GUYS

the stock gauge isnt in psi, its in some weird measurement that involves mercury i think.

+7 on the stock gauge is about 1 bar which is almost 15psi so +4 is about 7ish psi which is stock for a 33

here is a conversion table for pressure readings

stock gauge reads mmHg (or is that the oil pressure? lol) and most people talk in psi/bar

OK, Thanks guys.

Its the expansion of mecury at room temperature as pressure is increased. hence why its says mm/hg. 7+ is about 14 or so psi roughly

so half of that wud be about 7 psi which is around normal for a stock 33 as they have that dual boost stage solenoid (which can be easily changed (refer to Tutorial section)) from stock.
