1998 Volvo C70 T5 GT AutoI have an ex plod T5, was told it had a Rica 304, it boosts very close to the end of the white part on the gauge sometimes under heavy foot moments it goes off the end, this happens in all gears even 5th at 70mph, foot down ------> off the end, What would this be boosting at? any guesses at psi / Bhp etc etc
Cheers Guys and Gals

Thanked 3 Times in 3 PostsCameron,
My Rica304 on my 855T5 auto boosts to about 18psi measured on my VDO boost meter. This according to Adam (ChipTuning) is correct. Hope this answers your question. Cheers!

Thanked 528 Times in 448 PostsBest bet would be to get yourself a boost gauge and hook it up temporarily to the vacuum tree and see what you're getting.

I think adam may have been having a little issue with his gauge, unless he had wound you actuator arm so much the actuator had no function... Originally Posted by ken10
