Re: 88 5ktq boost or lack thereof

I get better/higher boost readings when it is cool out.  I'm not trying
to start a debate but...Would this be a result of the temp sensor preventing
higher boost thinking the motor is too hot when it is warm out?  I
replaced my multifunction about 3 months ago.

>Also you shold only get boost of 1.3 to 1.4 max

I get 1.3 when I push it.  I figure it is 1.4 though because with the
ignition on (engine not running) my guage reads 0.9.  I am pretty close
to sea level (richmond, VA area) so I adjust by 0.1
