Just wondering what the boost gauge should read at W.O.T. with a motor\turbo if it's running properly. Just got my car, trying to figure everything out. Mine hits between .5 and 1, but never makes it to 1...is it supposed to hit it? Like I said, just trying to figure things out.
No real mods to list...stocker!

Thanks;

The stock boost gauge is useless, its not even reading the boost pressure, but rather the ECU's guess at what the boost is based on airflow in the intake. Stock boost on a 1g is 11psi, you'll need a proper aftermarket gauge to know what your boosting.

If it helps, before I put on a boost gauge the stock gauge would show .5 to 1, about half way at wot.

Thanks for the help, it is very appreciated. I have an aftermarket gauge, but have yet to install it (don't have time to play when I'm in school!!). I guess I'll have to make the time and give it a shot.

Thanks;
