i was looking at pictures of someone's new t/c and i noticed his boost gauge was sitting right at zero
when my car is on and im stopped at a red light or not in motion...mine's always below zero
is that normal? not used to cars like this so sorry if this is a dumb question

 

if the car is off its at 0

 

Oohhhh ok, I never really looked at it when it was off haha I'll have to see.

 

More specifically, when the car is off but the key has been turned to the ON position it zeroes out the guage.

 

he said when the car is running it's below 0... yes that is normal.

 

interesting, so how much boost is the tc pushing stock, figure i would ask since his question was answered already

 

when im stoped im always neg 20

ive hit 17-18-19. different days she hits diff numbers.

 

Until you give the FI enough power to push more air into the throttle, you are always pulling a vacuum. What you don't want to see is when it is still pulling a vacuum when you are flooring it. I looked as a used LT1 camaro once that had a SC and that thing was beyond dead. Also had a warning on the window about there being no warranty on the car-thats probably why. Hehe.

 

Ok same here! Phew! All is well =] picking it back up today...weather stripping on the passenger side was bad
