My v70r has a boost gauge fitted to the pillar, when sitting bout 50mph the gauge sits at -2.5 never seems to go up the way always down ??

Does it go in to positive when accelerating? Cos when you are cruising around at low speeds the gauge should hardly move at all.

Haven't got a gauge in the T4

You need to be boosting for it to go up the way over hg,

I have just fitted mine so will report back on Sunday.

You’ll only ‘blow’ upon demand so you’ll see manifold pressure as normally aspirated 'suck' when cruising.. *Innuendo invite* .. one advantage of turbo over supercharger.

Quite interesting to see how and when the turbo spools actually and quite a useful guide for fuel economy too :-)
