Default When cruising at constant speed, are you suppose to see boost level over 0?

I just installed my boost gauge on the A-pillar(SPP) and I was wondering if I installed it correctly. I get boost when I get on it but once I let is just criuse, it drops on or below 0. I can get up to 17lbs on my MTM chip but as soon as I let go of the gas a little it drops. Should it keep its boost level all the time or only when you get on it. This is my first boost gauge so I dont know how it works.

I will try to do more driving today to see what else is happening.

TIA

Default Nope. It would stay below 0 for most light driving.

Your turbos are still working though.

The turbos on come on when needed so if you are crusing you aren't creating much load it should stay around 0 unless your foot is off the gas and it will go '-' If you are on an incline you will see the pressure increase slightly

Try cruising at about 150 MPH ... then you'll see constant boost. :-p
