Quick question

 

With the boost problems I've had lately I have done a lot of reading through threads and from what I understand standard boost is 9.5 and safety is at 7.

 

My car since I got it seems to reach full boost at justover 8. I think the guages are fine cause when it dropped into safety it was running at 7.....

 

When it gets to eight tho it stays fairly constant which leads me to believe that it's not a boost leak.

 

So my question is could it be anything else and if not it must mean it can be adjusted so is there anywhere around Hamphire that I can get it adusted back up??

if it's showing 8 on the aftermarket gauge then that's what you're getting so boost leak is most likely.

I thought the needle would rise and fall a bit though if this was the case??

it must be a consistant leak :tongue:

Most boost leaks are pretty consistent.

If you've got a pipe that's a bit loose then it will hold pressure up to a point then let air out.

I'd just tighten everything up and see what happens :)

I had this trouble when my Air Regulator for the Cold start was faulty! Causing me to lose boost back into the Intake pipe. It was only 1 or 2 psi but it was still noticeable.
