fitted auto gauge boost gauge but....

[gsxrboy]

i haven't done the wiring yet, just the tubing, it reads 20 (-20?) on the inHg side of the dial on tickover and general pootling about and when i floor it reads about 6-7 (ish) psi, anyone know of this is usual for this gauge, and one other thing, i'm pretty certain i disturbed nothing electric in routing the tubing yet when i first turned the ignition the warning light stayed on for engine electrical system fault....coincidence?

what does the boost gauge read when you boot it in higher gears?

[ROZER]

boost is low should be about 10psi unmapped check you havent left a leak anywhere first.

didn't get a chance round here, i'll have a go tomorrow :)
the electrical issue is puzzling though.

[Dan850r]

i thought autos were limited in first, as to your other problem, not sure sorry

-20 is normal, if you have an early T5 (850) I think 7psi is normal too.
Try pulling the battery for a couple of hours to clear the light or a code reader.

car is a manual v70 "98" think i know what i did, to get to the hose to fit the tee piece i removed the airbox and unplugged the airflow sensor, i started it up forgetting to reconnect, refitted it but light is still on.

that will do it every time. did the same thing on my 850R pull the batt for a few hours it should reset.

[T5frankie]

should be 10 psi mate (9.6) for a t5

[ROZER]

if you have a lpt 7-8psi boost is normal.

boost is a smidge under 10, managed to find a clear bit of runway this morning ;)

That looks fine mate (spools up faster than mine too :()

2nd gear, prob doing 30 ish in that clip

[M-R-P]

Ha, 2nd gear doing 30, about the same as mine then. that's right on the torque band - oh how I've laughed while humiliating saxos :D
