: mechanical boost gauge installed Lilracer94 10-24-2005, 07:11 PM I installed a used boost gauge and it reads 10 psi. of vacuum with out the car turned on. I have a 3.25 in. pulley installed and at max boost it only reads 7-8 psi when i should be running 14. Has anyone installed a autometer boost gauge, that whould know if the car runs that amt. of boost stock or is it the gauge. Rocky 10-24-2005, 07:21 PM you mean it runs at 10 hg vacuum then will max out at 8 psi right? sounds like somethings wrong with the gauge or the install. should idle around 20 hg i think and yeah you should be getting way more boost. max_boost 10-24-2005, 07:56 PM The gauge should read 0 when the car is turned off. I have an Autometer boost guage in my Red Line and it sits on 0 when the car is off and I see 11-12 psi of boost when driving. I agree that the the gauge is messed up.
