Well sitting in the garage waiting for some minor body work (bought it that way) and a few other minor odds and ends, complete suspension up-grade etc. etc. etc. Is my brand new shiny red 951, well new to me. Sitting in the car running it in the garage (yes the door was open) I noticed the boost guage was just sitting there not doing a whole lot of anything. If I blipped the throttle it would bounce off the peg and then drop back down. I don't have plates on it yet and other than a fairly quick test drive when I picked it up

the car will NOT make positive pressure unless it is moving. If you hold steady pressure on the accelorator the gauge should read 1 bar.... which is 0 lbs. (thats natuarl ambient pressure) .. Congrats.

Thanks Luke, I thought it might be something like that.
