Antihero1981 8 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 ok 1 more questioni installed the boost gauge today but its reading about 15psi which seems to be way to high......also on the face of the gauge it has 0-30psi on top and 0-30 on bottom and its reading downwards...have i installed it wrong?

FishWick 21 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Everything above 0 is boost. Everything below 0 is vacuum. Link to post Share on other sites
Antihero1981 8 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 ok its reading under ?? have not driven it yet ,only started it up....will it move? Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Boost gauges used to read -30 inHg - 0 - 30 psi, but these days they read -30psi to 0 etc which is meaningless. VR6s usually idle at around -18 inHg.Yep, it will go past 0 into boost when you drive it, but where it's sitting at idle sounds OK to me. Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 the little vacum hose goin from the manifold to the fpr mate T it in there Ive just changed that, for some reason it was ballsing up allsorts, it was running very rich, so down on power, idling very rough and the dial needle was all over the place. Must have been a small air leak, but I couldnt find it?Ended up Ting it from the brake booster nipple and all is fine now and faster than I ever rememberI also swapped all the jubilee clips for Mikalors, which also made a big difference Link to post Share on other sites
