Mine goes off the scale....way off, about 5mm beyond the end of the scale! I'll try to get a picture when I'm out on Sunday. When on full boost it pulls like a train, but when on full boost for a few seconds, always in 4th or 5th gear, it'll suddenly cut the boost which makes me thinking its over-boosting because maybe the boost sensor (TCV) is faulty? It never happens in 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear as I need to move up a gear before it occurs. I'm thinking about temporarily fitting a scaled boost gauge to see how much boost its actually generating! Any thoughts would be appreciated __________________ 1995 855 T-5R Manual - Gull Yellow 2000 Honda Accord Type R - Red 2003 E46 BMW M3 - Black 2013 V70 D5 R Design - Grey(Daily Driver) 2015 Audi A3 184 TDi Quattro - Grey (The Wife's!)
