Burns9213 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 As title says I have a boost gauge fitted and is psi for some reason but it dosent read 0 when idle would this mean I have it connected up wrong ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikeyallgood85 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 No bud it sounds about right, It's not suppose to idle at 0 should be below 0 it's vacuum pressure that keeps it below 0 and boost takes it a both 0! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Barnes Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Usually sits around -0.7 on idle mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Burns9213 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Now it's just over 0 not even sure I have it fixed too the correct pipe as my engine bay looks a lot different too others I've seen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EP91crazy Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 This is how my gauge sits at idle and just as it is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Lol I thought tha same the first time I ever fitted one.The engine is sucking and taking in air and this creates a vacuum mate.When mines at idle it reads -20.If it reads 0 on idle theres a serious problem.
