Auto R32 4door low boost under .5 bar?

[1400r]

my 4 door seems to running very low boost the standard read out never gets close to +7 which is either 7 psi or .7 bar(12psi?) I plumbed in a blitz guage and its reading .4 bar max is this right for a stock auto 32 it seems to pull fairly hard for such low boost I ran a r33 man and only lost by half a length or so then ran my mate in his man ceffy and beat him due to wheel spin he says. So should it be running more boost?

stock gause is in Hgmm... it is neither psi or BAR.

as a general guide, the +7 is about 1 bar.

stock RB20det in good condition runs a standard of 10psi boost.

1 bar = 14.7 psi

therefore 10 psi = about 0.68bar

so in an auto, and on a possibly 15 year old car, and 15 year old turbo with 15 year old wastegate spring, getting 0.5 bar (which is 7.35psi) boost is not so bad.

you haven't said what mods you have so I am assuming stock.

if you get a better air filter, and a full exhaust, this will bump up the boost to about 10psi I guess.

OR.... Maybe the Auto's run less boost.. Not sure..

autos run same boost

well there you go..

so basically, yours is not in good a condition as when it was built..

neither are many others though..

I wouldn't worry..
