Finished school and have been looking for a job. Once in a blue moon I get a PM and get back on the boards. I miss the days of my turbo. What is new with you?

No controller on earth can regulate boost creep.

I got the mechanical boost gauge hooked up and the good news is, I'm not over boosting. I'm getting 13 Ibs. I wonder if I can run a 1 bar spring with those measurements?

I have the original electric gauge, an NHS mechanical gauge in the dash, and a MAP sensor that records to my ECU. I also had it on a dyno, both with a mechanical gauge and another MAP sensor that ran the instrumentation on the dyno. With my low boost map, which is controlled electronically through the ECU, the electric gauge in the tach reads about 1 bar when all the others read about 0.83 bar. Not sure if this will put anyone's mind at ease. I suppose the electric gauge could be equally inaccurate the other way...

I have a NHS boost gage and it reads lower than the tach gage, although I don't see how anyone could tell anything from that little gage.

I've noticed this too! My tach boost gauge reads higher by almost .15 to .20bar.
