Anyone have a boost gauge I can borrow?
Just looking for a simple boost gauge so I can verify what the Profec is showing.
Also, I read somewhere that possibly in 1st and 2nd you wont see full 14psi or so boost? Is this true? I am seeing only 10psi in 1st and 2nd, havent found room lately to run in 3rd/4th.
Thanks.

I've seen 15-16 psi in 3rd and potentially 2nd (I check the hold function on my gauge afterwards). I tend to shift to 2nd fairly quick, but suspect you won't see as much boost. If you are only seeing 14 psi you may want to push the gas pedal in a little more 
BTW, did you get the red condoms for the HVAC lights? I passed them on during the last install day in hopes they would make it to you.

as long as you have the gauge, dave and I can make it work. I'll buy the hoses and hook it up for him. We're just going to use it for tuning purposes. I owe Dave a lot, so I'm using that as an excuse to work on the STi with him!
BTW, boost controller works great Dave!

Dave,
I have a Blitz boost gauge you could borrow. I'm not sure if I still have all the parts though.
Do you have my number? Give me a call.

Dont have your number anymore. Had it on the cell, but not there anymore. Shoot it to me and I will give you a call.
Thanks,

Its set to not interfere with boost control and use stock levels, but if we are only seeing 10psi it just doesnt seem right.

Interest rates are still low.
Seriously though, I'm not too concerned about the $2. I'm sure we'll bump into each other eventually. I just wanted to verify you got em.

1. Is your e-01 completely hooked up?
2. What psi are you getting in 3rd-6th?
3. Did you hook up a boost gauge before you did anything else?
If you said yes to one and you said you had the boost turned off, you are only getting wastegate boost. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
If you said yes to two, you just confirmed number one.
I asked number three just because I would have, just to check.

1. Is your e-01 completely hooked up?
Install done by Speedgear, I am "hoping" they installed it correctly. I checked what connections I could and they seem ok, but again I couldnt install it myself so I wouldnt know all the connections. I traced out all I could.
2. What psi are you getting in 3rd-6th?
Update for this, only 8psi in all gears. And I agree I am only getting wastegate boost, Dom and I were talking and its probably about 7.5-8psi wastegate. I ran it today in 1st-4th wot to redline and still 8psi.
3. Did you hook up a boost gauge before you did anything else?
No. Dont have one. Was relying on the e-01 to be the gauge so never got one. Need one now tho to troubleshoot.

I think if you read it carefully, you would figure out your problem. Start with the first quote.
