More Gauge Problems..
I have now ran 7/32 rubber hose to a barb coupler on the back of my 3404 autometer gauge, all the way to the t at the fpr, with NO kinks or anything. In 3-4 gear it reaches 11 psi. WTF??
Before i had the crappy nylon 1/8' line it came with kinked behind the gauge even and it shows around 7psi in 3-4 gear. Everyone tells me my 225 should be showing around 14. Help Please.. I want to get it chipped but i want to make sure everything is right first..

You gotta get it back to new.....>>
if you want new car boost, unless there's a leak issue..
New MAF, Plugs, Temp sensor, Maybe coilpaks, O2 sensors etc..ALL those sensors and parts must be operatoing at 100% for the ECU to dial it up to max.

Re: You gotta get it back to new.....>>
so 11 psi is not normal for the vehicle? how do i tell if there is something wrong? maybe it is a bad gauge? it doesnt feel sluggish at all and no cel...only cel was on for the rear o2 sensor because no cat, but added spacers and cleared

What I said.....
normal boost is 12-14 psi. Spec is 1 bar (14).
I'm not an autometer fan...Who knows what the margin for error is. You need to assess the age and function of the parts I listed above. If you don't have any history on the car, replace them all.

Re: What I said.....
plugs are new, temp sensor is new, coil packs are the good bolt on ones and the o2 sensors are fine....the only thing i think maybe is the dv should have the spring changed or the spacers added?

Re: DV's don't make boost.......>
ok...so i dont think there is a boost leak anywhere,,if there was, i guess it would be sluggish....or a cel for limp node or something...which there isnt...so if i tune it to apr 93...what should boost be?
