the TSI I got has a boost guage in it but it is not working right. it shows vac. but when I am pulling boost the needle stops at zero. I know nothing about turbo charged cars this is my first one?

QUOTE (natedogg @ Mar 31 2005, 08:36 AM) If your fpr isn't getting a correct boost signal, that's not a good thing either. Its rising rate to keep the boost pressure and fuel pressure at a constant offset from each other. If your fuel pressure doesn't go up when your boost pressure goes up, you'll be getting less fuel than you should and a poor injector spray pattern. If you get a good reading from that guage somewhere else, I'd definitely look for boost leaks in the vacuum lines. would this cause the engine to cut out under full boost? -------------------- ┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐
