R32 gtr wont boost to 1bar

[AnalStick]

so i have read that if the boost restrictor is taken out it should boost up to 1 bar but mine seems to sit between 0 and 7 mmHg, car is all factory minus exhaust

You sure about the 7mmhg?

That's pretty much no boost

Does your gauge have x100 on it somewhere? That would be one bar.

Ackhtually it's 0.9 bar

760mm column height of an arbitrarily dense and toxic liquid as measured on the surface of the planet Earth at precisely the elevation that gives the acceleration due to gravity at 9.807 m/s. And that's NOT how we're supposed to define units of pressure.

yeah so it has x100 next to it i thought that would already be clarified sorry, but it is sitting between the 0 and +7. isnt that just stock boost

That gauge is as useless as tits on a bull, put a proper gauge on it

Read above for the answer (and get a proper gauge).

oh are they gauges that bad haha

[admS15]

Is there an anal stick in the exhaust? That will stop it boosing..

So taking the restrictor out gives you about 12.5 psi = 650 mmHg a.k.a. what you're seeing.

My car came with the restrictor out so I don't know what the standard boost is. 8 psi?

Nothing wrong with standard gauge, as long as your car is standard. Boost gauge moving is cool as, I saw my first one as a kid in a Pulsar GTi-R. Had no idea what mmHg was but looked cool.
