I was just reading another post and someone said that in normal driving you are in boost only 5% of the time. Well when I drive my car just going threw the gears I see about 5 PSI when driving just normally. However, if I am just crusing at a consistant speed I wont see boost (Which I know is normal). This is my second SC'd car and the first didnt have an actual boost gauge like this. And I was just wondering if this was normal.


My GTP had the "boost" gauge that just showed digital bars and not actual boost numbers and I know I had press the gas pretty good to see any boost "Bars" on the GTP.

the 5% was a rough estimate....
what is the question..?

 

it depends on how hard you step on the gas pedal

 

Sorry I wasnt clear, when I am just drivng normal getting up to speed I consistantly see 5-7 PSI. Just didnt know if that was normal. This is with out really "Getting on it".

you can accelerate with this car without using boost.
it wont feel fast. but if your trying to keep your gas mileage good....staying out of boost will help alot.

 

true, get into it and watch the boost climb. Do it once to make sure it works

 

HAHA I am not worried about gas, just making sure everything is working properly. Thanks guys
