Question of Boost

[lance]

Just wondered how far peoples boost gauges go on there 850s into the white espeically if you have RICA and a Manual 850R.

Our old stock 850 T5 went 1/2-2/3 into the white, my 855R goes 4/5-5/6 so nearly to the end but not quite!

[stevie69]

got mine about 3mm of the end.rica 304 and a mbc.

[p fandango]

sure i've seen some rica's slightly off the scale

[t5 pete]

my 304 goes about 2-3mm past the white

[Jamest5r]

1.2 bar is about 2mm off the end of the white, 1.5ish is about 3 o'clock, i know this from a rr session with a seperate boost guage attached, might vary a bit from car to car though.

I'm hitting 16-17psi, just off the White :)

Mine with Rica 304 Touched the end of the white, with the MBC set at 1,3bar was well past the white. Standard Rica 304 should be 1 bar.

When I had the 855 T5 however before HLM mapped it went half into the gauge also

not enough lol , av had mine pointin to the temp gauage , once

[Ade]

Halfway in lower gears, a bit less in 4th and 5th flat out for my T5

I don't have one :cry:

Its great having that little boost gauge, so much fun watching it flip about!

[The Flying Moose]

I don't have one :cry:

I have an after-market boost gauge you can have Dave... if your feeling left out that is!

I used to have a tim one and it went right round off the scale to about 6-7pm and it was 1bar at 3 pm Obviously this was very wrong!
IIRC the standard gauge cant be trusted in any way but I guess if standard boost is 0.6 -0.7 bar (half a boost gauge) and rica is 1-.1.2 bar around the end of the boost gauge ish.

although their not actually calibrated there normally the end of the white is about 15psi
