Autometer Boost Guage Only Goes To 20 Psi?

[boobeedoobee]

Hey I have just bought an autometer pro comp boost gauge and it only goes to 20 psi. . I am installing a pair of hks gtss turbos on my car, just wondering will I be boosting my car over 20 psi?

It has stock internal but all the other go fast bits and is on e85 sitting at 270rwkw

If you only have 270kw then no. I think you probably running 16 psi.

If you were to get it tuned to 20 psi then you Will find that it might spike to 21 psi and then level out.

Do you have a electronic boost controller?

If you do then why not just use that as a boost gauge?

As I'm installing the hks gtss turbos I am getting them to put in the guage as well.. I don't have an electronic boost guage only a t peice. So I know they will increase the boost just not sure if it will be pushed over 20 psi what's about the average tuners push these turbos too

[Hadouken]

20 psi is what they push it too

[Hadouken]

Get a ebc and rid yourself of that t piece

I like my t peice no ebc for me

Whilst I had no respect for T-piece boost controllers, I particularly liked my home-built pneumatic boost controller. It worked really well.

The EBC I replaced it with works a lot better.

Ebc really is the way to go. They are so cheap these days too it's really a shame to have such an awesome car with just a bleed tap.

An Ebc can be configured to bring boost on earlier; gain setting (within reason, no beating physics here). They can also be configured to reduce boost tapering in high rpm for a flatter torque curve.

You'd be silly to skimp on it. But that's just my opinion

Tuning your car to a max of 20 because that's what your boost gauge goes to is dumb.

Get new gauge at the very least. Better yet get ebc.

Tune car.

EBC is light years ahead of a gauge & a dinosaur t-piece.

20k car and using a 20$ t-piece/bleed whatever it is.. kinda silly if you ask me
