Re: 5ktq bar ?'s



The bar reading sounds about right and if your mileage is that low, I would
invest in an O2 sensor...  This will increase your boost (you should see only
1.4 bar under the best of conditions, otherwise 1.3).  If you switch your
engine to on without starting you are correct in seeing 1.0 since this is
absolute pressure.  Once you start the car however vaccuum is measured at
anything below 1.0 (atmosheric press) so your .5 is vacuum...  The way I
explain it to my wife is that if you see above 1.0 bar you are driving wiht
the "turbo on".  BTW, the Intended acceleration stage I chip gets you to 1.8
bar max and the stage II gets you to 2.0bar max...  Meanwhile check out the
O2 and a can of Techron prob wouldn't hurt either/////////>>>
