Just installed a boost guage this past weekend and I'm wondering what other people are seeing on theirs.

How much vacuum do you see at idle? At cruise when on the road?

What's your max boost seen in 3rd gear? 4th gear?
What boost do you see with a Garrett stage 1 (30a) in those gears at WOT?

Thanks!

At idle -20.
At cruising -10 or so.
At moderate throttle 5-7
At full throttle in 3rd or 4th 14

Same here but I get 18-19 at WOT and then it drops and holds at 16 till redline 7100 rpms.

idle is ~-22, WOT is usually around 14-16PSI(depending on gear, load, etc) (Wett 1 Bar)

If your turbo is spooled up at part throttle and you suddenly open the throttle it seems pretty normal to see a short peak well above the max your car is programmed to allow. This means upwards of 15 PSI with thestock setting and >20 PSI with a 1 bar chip. This peak only lasts a couple seconds and is probably nothing more than the lag time between the system reaching max programmed boost and the appropriate bypass activating.

Idle -20
Coasting -22
Cruising -8 to -15
WOT peaks at +24 momentarily then drops to +14

It is called a boost spike.
