Alright i have a few questions. First is i installed an autometer boost gauge and when i took it for a test run, it said i am running about 12 to 13 psi under full throttle in 2nd and up. however, before it settles down to this pressure, it spikes to sometimes as high as 20! My mazda is stock accept this gauge. another thing is i tried to wire the light for the gauge into the radio fuse,and it went pop. dunno why.....anyone have any info on either of these things. wiring suggestions? maybe boost leak somewhere causing the low boost? thanks guys.
 
Sorry I don't have an answer to your question.
However, I am interested to know the part number for the AM boost gauge you have.
Thanks
 
2nd gear is supposed to be around 11-12 psi...3rd and up is supposed to be 15 psi.

Double check and see what WOT in 3rd gear looks like...you might have a small leak.
