As some may be aware, we were supprised that our car was only running 10psi. To be honest I haven't looked at the boost gauge for ages, no time. But I'm sure it was running 1 bar.

I suspect that we have an issue with the actuator or the bracket (i.e. preload has reduced). But I'm just interested to know if anyone else saw less boost from the RR boost gauge than thay thought that they had or that their gauge indicated.

Cheers

Last time I ran mine on a rolling road last year, it would only boost to 10 PSi for some reason, but back on the road it was boosting to 15.

wil , i have a guage in mine that i know from data logging reads 2 psi high at 15.

at the rr i couldnt see the guage in the car ,but the bleed valve position tallied with my data logs for the boost it registered on thier logger .

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

Wil.

Mine showed 12.9 psi on the boost controller in the car and their gauge (the plot) showed 890 mbar which if my calcs are correct is almost spot on.

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

my guage shows about 9.5 and the MJ logging shows about 10.5

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!
