Boost too low
Hey all,
the car - '98 A4 1.8TQ 162,000k
Ok, so I just installed my VDO boost/vac gauge. And much to my surprise, my boost seems to be peaking at 6psi...max. under normal boost im am hitting 4-5psi. I've looked for leaks and whatnot but just can't seem to find any. I've got a forge007 that I have yet to install, mayhaps my stock dv is leaking. Any tips or tricks to fixing this little issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

RE: Boost too low
From what I've read stock boost is between 7-9psi, I just assumed 7 normaly and spiking to about 9. But thanks for the quick reply, if anyone else has anything would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
