evil03mustang Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I'm shifting my comment from my other thread into this one because I feel like it warrants its own... thread. What is the expected "normal" boost pressure at 3k, 4k, 5k, 6k RPM? STOCK EVERYTHING. When should boost begin to build? At what PSI should it hit peak, and how long should that peak be held (or is it supposed to taper off)? Mine starts making boost around 2300RPM, it's pushing 10psi by 3k, hits peak of 13 near 4k, quickly tapers to 10.5 and holds that till redline. Does this sound right? I need to datalog a bit more for research's sake, but these readings are repeatable and predictable. (As indicated by torque pro). I do need to install a good boost gauge. Vital for monitoring the health of the boost-related gadgets.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanzabar Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 the specs say it should hit around 13-14psi and stay there until it tapers off a couple pounds 1-2k from red line. so yours looks correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil03mustang Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 I think I need to do more pulls to be sure.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidWombat Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 That sounds about right. Holy cow! That means you actually got that car running! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PtPixel Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Yeah mine usually peaks about 13-13.5 then drops to steady 11-12 on a pull. If you're after a boost gauge the VBG1 is awesome. Pretty pricey but basically a few gauges in one, and looks a hell of a lot nicer than pod gauges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moddiction Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 That does look great!! Been thinking of picking one up. Easy to wire in and mount? Anything non reversible about the install?

PtPixel Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Yeah really easy, easier than any other gauge as it's the same for piping from the engine bay but the mount is already in your dash. I did a quick walk through here when I installed mine, been working perfect for about a month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chato Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 another vote for the VBG1, love mine. Install couldn't be simpler and its a really slick little piece of tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
