Boost Poll

Just out of curiosity:

How much boost(psi or kpa) are you pulling and how many miles/km's are on your car?

I'm at 80kpa(~11.5psi) and 1463km(~900mi)

12.5-13.0 psi @2600 miles.

Also.. no problems what so ever!! (keeping fingers crossed)

Mine is 81 KPa and 900 miles done. Hey b-spot I think you should go to the dealer to ajust the screw on the by-pass valve to get your 12 PSI boost.

I felt a little bad that I was only getting 80kpa, but I really feal sorry for b-spot at 70. Anyway, I'll give mine another couple thousand km's and if it still isn't up to 88kpa(~12.5psi), then I'm taking it in to get it checked out.

On a bit of a side note, about how much is it to get a dyno done? I'd really like to know if my gauge is out or not. Thanks.

When it's 80 degrees or higher I see 10-10.5psi and at less than 80 degrees usually 11-11.5psi.

I hadn't really paid much attention to my boost guage until I read this while reading through some of the old threads. The most I have seen from my guage is 60 kpa. I also notice that whenever idling, it reads -50 kpa. Does this sound normal to all of you?
