So I finally got a boost gauge and got it all installed this morning. So in taking a few fun drives watching it I noticed that I spike up around 12~13psi and rest at like 10psi. I thought I remembered reading that stock spikes around 12 and settles down to like 7~8? Here's a picture I got my dad to take while we were out. This is right where it sits after the spike.

 

Umm... wow, that really is ghetto. When are you going to do it right?

Lol yea. I'm just waiting to pic up a second vent so I can cut into it and bondo it up. I prefer not to cut into stock parts like this when I can pick up a replacement for cheap. That way in about 4 years when I get a new Audi I can take this gauge with me and not have a vent missing when I scrap/sell this one.

 

looks like ***... I have a plate that will fit perfectly in that vent space & your gauge will fit and look nice - PM me, I'll let it go cheaply!

 

Oh belive me I'm fully aware that it looks like crap. I figure this is the only time my car will have that nice "ricey" look to it... I just got done trying to make something out of some aluminum but that didn't turn out to my liking so I think its going to sit like that for the rest of the week till I get the new vent.

But does the PSI sound right? I thought it was a bit high compared to what I've heard stock is.

 

why dont you superglue it lol

 

put sticky rice on it lol j/k man. wut matters most is that the guage is working properly. no idea bout the psi but hopefully cincytt comes on and answers

 

Thats so

 

So besides the crappy look as of now, does my psi sound right or a tad high?

 

01 boosts 10/11 psi stock. 97-99 is 7/8ish stock. Looks like ****... Youre going to fix that right?
