I fitted a boost gauge today. Tapped into the thin tube coming out of the aftermarket dump valve, when i'm on tick over it reads -10psi to -15 at full boost it sort of touches +8psi then backs off to +6 or +7.
7 psi is budget. Is this normal or what?

So that the reading is as accurate as possible, extra chance of leakage... Just my own personal preference....

Check the wastegate solenoid is clean. Mine had some oil in it and it didn't give full boost. I'm sure 7psi i well down on what it should be. Whwen i had my Legacy Turbo it was as nealry as qucik as an Imperza once it was going.
