I just installed an Auto Meter vac/boost gauge. At idle in park vac is at 19.5 and in drive idle 15. Boost when I got on it, it hit 15psi.

The car 2001 c70 HPT with NO engine/ecu/ turbo mods

 

Vaccum is good and boost sounds good too.

 

Ok good, I thought the boost was supposed in the 10 range. Now, I just have to hit the dealer for the damn double shift into drive, and my warranty better cover every thing for that

 

Well it is an HPT and 15PSI is fine for an HPT it can handle it. 10PSI sounds more like normal. Maybe you do have an ECU upgrade and don't know it. Or maybe someone had an MBC installed and never removed it.

 

Some cars produce more boost stock than others as well.
Or maybe one of the vaccum lines to the turbo is cracked as well.

 

damn, i bet that thing scoots really good wiht 15 psi on it. i want to crank mine to 15 psi, but i have to get a boost guage and 3 pods before getting a MBC.

 

Well, I guess I was either seeing things or something but, when I get on it from a dead stop my boost only goes to 10 to 12. I dont remember what I did that I saw it hit 15. With 74k miles would the CBV be bad? If so, where the hell is it LOL
