Does he mean boost pressure, maybe?

Haha, this guy cant be serious at 60mph what should the boost gauge read with him having the gas pressed by his estimation 15-20%, he thinks he has a leak on his compressor side.

My question is how the hell do you know that your foot is pushing 15-20%
2. how many turbo vehicles have you driven?

Without actually checking... I think in Vac. by 5-10 In Hg.

I know when I'm cruising 80 it's about 4 or 5 In Hg I think.

dont feel bad I'm missing it as well.....

Huh???

Haha... I think he is looking at his boost gauge, and thinking it means 15-20% power or something.

the guage reads PSI (pressure per square inch) that your turbo is putting into your intake, at full throttle, you will see the gauge jump to between 10-18 PSI depending on the weather.

It has nothing to do with % of power or anything.

The TS thinks the boost gauge reads in (%) not psi . . . . :sigh:

I have a question for the TS . . . . Why did you even buy a TC?

Tazmanian_Dvl

Well if your just cruising your gauge should be at about -10 psi or so depending on the speed and the gear your in. The only time your boost gauge should read a positive # is when you are stepping on the gas or accelerating (usually hand in hand I know but you can also sit there and rev it at a redlight or whatever)
