M35 Boost Level

[Commsman]

Just thought I'd add my 2c with my recent experience.

Finally hooked up my new boost gauge by taking the rubber hose from the factory sensor (attached to the nipple on the manifold) & feeding it into the nylon tube going to the gauge.

Not sure of the accuracy of my Pricol gauge, but since it's 270 degrees from 0 - 15 psi, the resolution is very good. Boost went up to 14psi & sat there until close to redline whereby it dropped off to 11.5 psi, maybe to aid with smooth gear changes??? Can anyone confirm?

Since this is a stock RS, where does that leave the theory that max stock boost is ~11.6psi?

Is this a case of the standard gauge being too hard to read / inaccurate, or maybe mine is inacurate by 2.5psi?
