Default boost gauge accuracy

is there anyway to test this thing out besides checking against another gauge?

im seeing 12psi sometimes oni t but my map sensor doesnt even read that high. also when i had my wg spring w/ no boost controller in it was reading 6psi but i thought i had a 7.5psi spring lol... everything is so jacked up.

I think a lot of problems people have with the autometer gauge accuracy has to do with that vinyl tubing and how it connects to a vacume source.

on my friends car we just ran some small vacume line from the nipple on the intake and slid the vinyl tubing inside the hose pretty far and zip tied it...works good

my tuner has this little sensor about the size of the black tube that hold a roll of film and it hooks up to a source of vaccum and then it has an electrical connector that hooks up to the dyno...

check out my dyno chart you will see boost measured at the bottom

i thought mine was off also but it is not, i have a sunpro guage btw

i know my boost gauge is off...so i rely on my blitz boost controller to read boost. it reads in bars but at least it stores peak boost and i can convert that into psi.
