Can Someone Answer My Questions Regarding Boost

[adamss]

About 5 months ago I bought a r33 gtst which had minimal mods. Exhaust system, large front.mount inter cooler installed, induction system, blow off valve and a boost gauge. I have no idea how much power that would be exactly. But my questions are these.

Firstly the guy I bought it off said its running.on.stock.boost meaning 7 psi. But when I hit boost, on the boost gauge it shows that it boosts up to 15 I'm presuming 15 psi. Now does that mean that the cars turbo is already boosted? Or when.the guage goes from 0-15 it means.something else. By the way it caps at.15 it doesn't surpass it

I don't know much about cars, also if it isn't boosted.how do I do it.

the l'm would be the measurement.

not sure what it is.

normally measured in bar, kpa (kilopascals), psi (pounds per square inch), atm (atmospheres) or inches in mercury.

they are not on the same scales.

If you could take a picture of the gauge face and post it we might be able to help out. It doesn't have to be with the engine running just a picture of the gauge at rest would be helpful.

You didn't list it in the mods but do you know if the car has a boost controller fitted?
