i have the new south pillar pod on my 01 a4 1.8 fwd, and i have airbox mod, forge 007 dv, and giac-x chip wich runs 1.3 bar. i installed the guage according to the instructions and im just wondering how accurate it is. it spikes at like 19 at most and holds around 16, is that pretty much normal?

 

yea, its normal for it to spike and then settle, i thought that with that chip it would spike at 21 and hold at 18 or 19

 

yeah well i dont have exhaust yet, and my car is pretty much one big boost leak, i carry a roll of duct tape on my belt....... lol

 

im still dealing with my damn low boosting problems... i have never hit any of those numbers i settle at 11.5 and sro pprogressivly down to 8 psi now... i cant find leaks and i dont hear any... i dont know what is wrong

 

I have the same problem man. I think that its our forge 007 dv's. what spring do you have in?

 

if that was directed at me... i have no clue and that is a problem... one of the guys put it in... and im assuming he didnt put grease on my dv either im going to hav to investigate my dv this weekend...

personally... im wondering if i was givin the wrong file becuase im at like .8 bar right now and what giac says is it is a 1.0 bar chip... im nowhere near that

 

For me its weird I usually spike 21 and settle around 15-17 but lately I have been hitting around 19 and dropping to like 12 with lots of surging after 45k... I think it could possibly be a leak... But I dont hear it? n e ways ill find out when I change my oil.. I'm going to do an experiment.. Im going to mount my forge in rev. and see if its true that you actually gain a couple psi..

 

i have that file and i cant seem to boost past 15, so id efinitly have a leak.

 

holding 16, that doesnt sound too bad for no exhaust.

I'd call that normal.

 

ummm exhaust isnt gunna make that much of a difference man, Mine would spike 21 and hold 18/19 all day with and without exhaust both
