Guage Readings????????

[coolhand]

Could you guys let me know what the guages should be reading on the S/C during normal use. Any info would be appreciated.

Matt I think we were talking about this last night abut the boost guage. Well here is how it works when the car is at idle it will be in vac. around 20psi thats what both my cars get. Now as you give it more gas it will move out of vac and in to boost. Now when your just driving the the guage will be showing in the vac. area till you give it more gas.
If you want to know how much boost you should be seeing well I would say 10 to 12 Psi. if is an all stock car.
Hope that helps

Jason,

I don't mean to nitpick ya, but actually, on our boost gauges when you're looking at the vacuum side (counterclockwise from the twelve o'clock position down to around the six o'clock position), it's measured in "in Hg", or "inches Mercury". The boost side is measured in "PSI" though.

Cheers,

Sean
