Lawless Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Wired in the gauge a few weeks ago had been working fine till now it's definatley giving me a false reading and peaking way too early .Checked the wiring and re wired. it completely to start fresh keeps doing the same thing It's suppost to show 0 with the ignition on But it's at positive 0.5 also on idle it's at about negative .4 and it's reaching an Apparant 1.bar with just a blip of the throttle can't be right Any help appreciated Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Boost reading is completely irrelevant when the car is in idle..From what I can remember.. My old V sat at -0.4 on idle..To get your true boost reading you need a long stretch of road ie a duel caridge way or motorway and do a pull in 4th gear. See what it peaks at then. How is the boost set up? Stock actuator? Adjustable? Wastegate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lawless Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Its a hybrid turbo It's got an adjustable actuator Set at 1 bar has only started acting up today just had a spasm and isn't giving a true reading now just a blip of the throttle or building boost slowly it's giving me really high boost readings when I no I'm not pushing it :/confused Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zeldoz Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Could be the weather allowing it to creep that quickly! Cold is a nightmare With CT9's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lawless Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Could be I guess just don't understand why it would give me a nice reading up until now as the cars not acting up or boosting that high you no when you can feel it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
