Boost question?
So I'm often asked what boost am I running? Honestly, I have NO CLUE! So I installed a gauge and I still have no idea. Give my a direction and information on how to find out.

Rick,
Whatever the gauge indicates at peak rpm under load, perhaps top of 3rd or 4th gear.
A non supercharged car, will not show any positive pressure on your gauge.

I never watch mine while driving but my gauge has a peak recall and I use hptuners to log, it also shows boost

And whatever it is now in this hot weather, JUST WAIT until its around 40-50 degrees and see what it is then

my gauge's right where i can kinda see it out of the corner of my eye... but then again, with a PD, it more correlates to throttle position, so i can usually have a good idea without looking.
it is a nice gauge to have to see how altitude/DA are affecting your airflow... or as my case was tonight, to correlate starting to run lean every time you get near positive pressure
