Yeah, but the restriction alone shouldn't be 4PSI. I have it installed correctly per the instructions and pictures from Joe (not backwards). My hose isn't excessively long (and I'm using the old wastegate hose, so it's as short as it can be). I could trim 2-3 inches off of the Tee'd hose...

Yeah what's real weird is my readings haven't changed much by adjusting the guage. I had it at the blow point (where I could just start blowing air through), now I'm all the way removed. The boost really hasn't changed much, maybe there is a restriction somewhere.

Cool, one less thing to worry about. Thanks

Yeah I did the blow thing when I first installed it. I'm wondering if there's a kink in one of those hoses or something. I hit 12PSI peak in second gear coming back to work from lunch. I may try removing it and seeing if my stock PSI has changed any. From what I read, the MBC even full open...

It's that big glowing orange thing in the center of the shot. It's brass color normally, but the sun's reflection and my crappy phone's camera made it look like that. I never noticed it with the car off.

Videos are down, repost?

While I was trying to adjust my MBC I noticed a tick noise coming from the engine. It would last about 20 seconds, then shut off for 10, and then start again. After trying to listen to where it was I THINK I found it being the shiny thing in the attached picture. Anyone else noticed this? It...

With my MBC at the minimum setting (basically the screw completely removed) I still spike 10.5 then stay at 10 until going down closer to redline. With the cold weather I feel this will still bring me too close to the cut. I really want to run like 9-9.5 max. Interesting notes are, My car...

If it proves to be the case where these things are inheritently different (bad build quality) then I will probably switch brands. I've owned several Apex-i EL guages and had 0 problems.

Ok, I think we've found an issue here. I've never owned a boost guage in my life that wasn't at 0 when the engine is off, or when it's in the box. I assumed I was a single case of a bad calibration, but now it sounds like several people are having this problem or confusion. Either an entire...

Yeah it's right around where the hesitation used to be before I flashed, it may be just back again cause of the increase in boost. That's exactly what it was, I just forgot about the hesitation. I guess I'll wait for it to get cold and experience the cut.

Just installed mine, I used the existing tee, saw no need to change it to a new one. Bought a 2' line of 3x16 hose, and just used about 6 inches of it. I had no problem using the existing line off the wastegate. I had it hit around 10.5-11 on my guage (although my guage is suspect to be...

Jegs said, you just ship them back the part, fill out a form that's on your invoice and they'll reimburse you for the part. I told her I sort of needed expidited care, she told me the best way is to buy another one online, once you get it, ship the old one back, then they'll reimburse. I did...

I called Autometer and he said it's definitely defective, it could've been dropped or something. I ordered a new one from Jegs, I went for the 20 PSI one that shows vacuum, for some reason I didn't see it before. Thanks for the help guys!

Does anyone have before and after pics of the install? My car's not here and I'm trying to get a visual before I start. The install directions on Joe's site don't seem 100% clear to me.

I read the installation instructions on the JoeP site, but I still am not positive that I know every part that I need from the autoparts store. Looks like I should get about a foot of 3/6 vacuum hose. What size tee's do I need, and how many. Installing the boost guage was simple due to the...

FYI/PS - The guage is a 0-35 PSI Autometer Ultralite, purchased from Jegs last week.

I don't think I'm ignorant, but I wasn't aware boost guages could be calibrated.

As many of you know, I earlier posted about my stock boost peaking at 8 PSI. Some people thought it possible, some think I'm lucky, etc. Anyways, I hit 9 PSI today stock (cold outside). It was a spike because after that 8.5 was the max I could hit. Anyways, I then remembered I was a bit...
