| Re: New gauge well mine is standard and holds between 0.65 and 0.7 bar (9.5-10psi) depending on conditions, air temperature etc. I've not taken much notice of peak values. These are from readings of live data from the management system, so not based on a shonky boost gauge that could be reading wrong..  |

| Re: New gauge well mine peaks up to about 10 psi and holds about 7-8 psi. depending what mood the car is in!!!! as for accuracy. the gauge is only as accurate as it was set up during manufacture. if nothing else the dial behind the needle could have twisted around slightly giving all sorts of readings. all they do is give you an idea what its boosting at. do tuners watch the gauge that you have plumbed. i dont think so!!!
