Thread: gze and boost guage

    i do have a boost guage. it reads in the INHG zone for the vaccum when idle. 1 PSI = 0.49 INHG approx. it reads at 22 INHG at idle which is about 11 PSI. when i rev the engine it goes up progressively and when im about to shift at 6000rpm its usually in the PSI zone at 3 PSI. i dont think its reading correctly because i feel the boost even at low revs.

    im currently after an omori boost guage as a replacement (im a perfectionist and want all my guages black with green lighting...) which reads in Bar and has no vaccum readings.

    If the green thing is your map sensor (next to yellow writing at the top of pic), then it looks to be hooked up correctly.

    Lol, yours looks like a big mess hahaha (my gze seems soo simple).

    well if its hooked up correctly then it must just be the gauge (or maybe my charge just isnt working....)

    had a drive just then to check out the gauge. it went up to 4psi. that seems a little low seeing its supposed to be at 8psi@4000rpm at stock.

    hmmmm not very happy. im hoping its just the gauge and not the charge thats faulty
