Impreza :: Stock Boost Gauge On 2002 WRX?


Apr 7, 2010

How accurate is the stock boost gauge on 02 wrx? is it a real boost gauge or is it just for show? 3000gt vr4 has one, but it is not a real one and work with maf sensor only. also is stock bov good for 15-16 psi. we have a stock 02 wrx and we are thinking to up the boost to about 1 bar, but not sure i can trust the stock boost gauge. the car also has catback and cold air intake on it.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: On Stock Valve Car Would Get Random Boost Surges

I have a 05 GLI and I noticed that on the stock "E" valve my car would get random boost surges. I would barely tap the gas and the boost would build up to 8-10 PSI so I bought the J valve thinking it would solve the problem and just installed it today. I took it around the block and really liked how the power delivery became smoother and the car didn't have any boost surging issues. When I decided to put my foot down I noticed my car was only getting 11-12 PSI throughout the whole power band. Before on the E valve I was getting 16-17 PSI. My car's running a Unitronic stage 2 tune btw. I know upgrading to the "J" valve is a hit or miss but I think it's kind of odd that the car drives smoother but isn't running as much boost. I like how it feels for daily driving but something doesn't feel right.

Volvo :: Boost Gauge Is Hitting Almost 1.5 Bar And Dropping To About 0.9 Bar?

I have recently purchased a c70 t5 which supposedly had been remapped. Anyway this weekend I changed the ICarScan unit and pipework, replaced the turbo vacuum lines and it has had a full service oil,plugs,rotor arm and cap etc. Prior to this it would occasionally pull aggressively and other times not. Now it boost all the time and feels good, however I noticed the boost gauge is now hitting almost 1.5 bar and dropping to about 0.9 bar. What could be causing this. In addition to the above work I removed the nasty badly modified inlet pipe and fitted an original between the air box and turbo. Which connection go where so I can ensure I am correct.

I just purchased a b5 99 1.8t. The tubing from the intake manifold to the dv was cut by accident (long story, dont ask).I replaced the dv and tubing .I want to check if the psi is correct. I dont have a boost gauge.

What are the ways to check it besides a boost gauge? I think the correct psi is around 6-8 ?

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: CEL After Installing NS Boost Gauge

I'm not sure what to make of this ... I disconnected the battery before installing . The gauge seems to be reading correct based on what i researched. If there was a slight leak would it throw the CEL ? is it maybe just a one time thing that needs to be cleared afterwards ? Car drives fine and I plan on trying to stop at autozone to get there crapo freebie scan . Kinda annoyed considering everything went smoothly up until I drove the car more then 50 miles .

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Boost Gauge Is Reading Peak Of About 15 - 16 PSI

Okay, here's the car

AWP 1.8t mk4 GTI.

- stock DP

- Forge 007 splitter adjusted 25 clicks

- Swiss cheese stock intake with k&N high flow

- APR stage 1 93 tune.

My boost gauge is currently reading peak of about 15-16 psi. I replaces some vacuum hoses that appeared to be worn, and to no avail. I have no CEL, and no codes thrown at all. This sound like a boost leak.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2004 1.8T GLI - No Vacuum At Boost Gauge

Bought a 1.8t 04 gli. Was boosting 15 pounds so i did a boost leak test. Found pcv up hose from valve to y pipe at valve cover was almost blown in half, so i replace all of that stuff with oem.

Boost leak test again, found where boost gauge is hooked up to, turbo outlet to n75, the hose was leaking, i fixed that.

Boost leak test yet again, n75 was not clamped down, so clamped that.

Boost leak test one last time, held 10 psi before blowing the cap out of the intake. Which is pretty dangerous, my cap is made out of a spray can cut in half. Sounds like a canon. Anyways i heard zero leaks.

So now I am boosting 18psi and holding perfectly fine. Why I am showing ZERO vacuum on my boost gauge??

Passat (B6) :: Installation Of A Boost Gauge And Steering / Column Pod?

The installation of a boost gauge and steering or column pod? I'm looking at installing the Podi Gauge for the MK5 - but I understand it needs some modifications to make everything fit correctly?

I searched but couldn't find the exact answer I was looking for - besides a retrofit to the pod, is there some drilling / t-fittings required for the actual install of the gauge? As far as I understand, it's a bit more involved than plug and play?

Golf IV R32 :: 2003 - Fitting Supercharged Boost Gauge

I live in Scotland so have a right hand drive 2003 MKIV R32. I got a VF stage 1 kit fitted last year and now I want to fit a boost gauge. I've bought a NewSouth indigo 0-30 psi gauge and a column pod.

What I need to know is where to take the feed from, where is the best place to fit the vacuum tube to get the best readings? any photos would be good.

I plan on fitting it this weekend along with my oil pressure gauge.

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: CEL On / Boost Gauge Reading 4 - 5 Psi Under Load?

Car now has about 67,000 miles on it. I drove it from the bay to Lake Tahoe 2 weeks ago, which is when I first noticed the light. I tried to go to a couple of autozone's to get the code read but none of them would do it. I also noticed that now on my boost gauge that i am only reading 4-5psi under load, so its not quite feeling like i'm getting as much power as before. What a common issue is at about this many miles on a 1.8t car? (GLI)

Golf VI R :: P3Cars Gauge With Analog Boost Noise?

I purchased a P3Cars gauge and an analog boost sensor with an ECS boost tap. I seem to be getting some fluttering noise at higher boost (greater than about 15 psi).

It was my understanding that digital boost gauges didn't buzz, so I thought I high have some movement of the boost sensor, hose, or the interface box for the gauge. I've got these pretty well padded and fixed with zip ties.

Do I need to get an inline restrictor (cotton swab, filter or otherwise) to eliminate this fluttering noise?

Tiguan :: Boost Gauge / Vacuum While Driving On The Freeway

I recently installed a boost gauge on my 2010 Tiguan (Auto, 4 Motion) and was rather surprised by the readings when driving on the freeway.

At around 65-70 MPH on a flat surface, the manifold pressure is just about 0 (range of 1in Hg - 1psi) all the time. I am used to my 1.8t thats runs 10 in hg vacuum at highway speeds. I just find it a little odd that the turbo is working hard enough to relieve the intake of all vacuum, and sometimes even boost while driving with hardly any engine load.

My gauge reads 20 vacuum at idle and 15-18lbs max boost with apr software. What readings does every else here see? Any difference between auto and manual?

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Boost Gauge Not Working Properly?

I've had this problem a while but now i want to get around to fixing it.. my boost gauge is always at 0 now and sometimes when i drive the car it starts working but it starts like sticking... like when i didn't have my chip it would go up and down really fast between 10 - 15psi... i heard from a friend that you can take it apart and re-adjust some screws or something so it works like a charm... right now its just like frozen at 0 psi when i drive it doesnt go down or up.
