when the car starts and ticks over the needle on the standard turbo gauge is just below the first line does this show that the engine isnt in good condition as my last z was bearly above the -7??

Get an aftermarket gauge, stock ones are crap, on tick over i believe - 19to 21psi is good.

lol... There is a minus sign there if u look close -19to21psi

Been out to car now to double check now lol

 

so idle/tick over - or minus 19to21InHg is good :p

lol i was going to say??? mine isnt in psi its an import so is my engine ok if its just below the 1 line?

cheers mart. your a star

sorry so does that mean that below the first white line after the -7 mark is bad???????????

19 to 21 psi on idle??? :confused:

 

 

LMAO macs might be!

If the needle does not sit far over to the left it indicates a Vacumn/boost leak.

 

However the stock gauge is famously innaccurate.

thanks

here we go again!!

how do i find the boost or vacuum leak???

First of all check the 4 large pipes with jubilee clips these tend to split or the jubilee clips may be loose
