I just got my boost gauge hooked up and when i turn the car on it goes down to 15 vac and then when i give it gas it goes lower to like 20 vac i dont know why im not getting any boost need help!

 

do you have a turbo or supercharger on you car?

beers

 

its the greddy turbo kit

 

please some one let me know what they think i ran out of ideas also some times it feels like it going to stall when i let of the gas it goes down to 0 rpm and then shoot up to 1,000 rpm

 

what you describe sounds normal for normal driving with a turbo. you will not get boost until you give the vehicle some load with the throttle. So what happens when you floor it with the throttle all the way down?

 

you put the turbo on the wrong way around

 

it only goes in one way doesnt?

 

all the tubes matched up and eveything so i couldnt

 

hook line and sinker .....

 

whats thats?

 

it's a term the top tuners use to describe your problem ...

 

o, well i just need to know what you guys think is the problem bc im scarred to drive it

 

when i floor the car the hole way down the turbo cuts out it feels like

 

just take it for a drive and put it under load while driving (not just reving it in neutral)- then come back and tell us what happened with the gauge ....

more importantly - who is tuning it ? Sounds like you may need to take it to a tuner before you go hard into boost .

 

i can't tell you what's going on based on your description. if you can make a video tape of the car and show us the boost and afr gauges, we might be able to.

 

how about this... give us pictures of your engine bay, maybe tell us everything about the kit/install.... did you buy used or new? installed it yourself? did you tune it? give us all the info you can...

 

maybe you connected to boost gauge wrong....? did you have these problems with the turbo cutting out before the gauge install?

 

That's a line from one of my favorite songs... just a random fact

 

This guy never, ever search.

I hope his engine blows up. I mean it.

 

ill c what i can do about getting a video of it, its hard to explane the only thing i can say is it stays in vac and it wont do to boost when i floor it the gauges goes lower into vac

 

Boost Leak, go tighten your couplers

 

Where did you hook up the line for the boost gauge? Sounds like you may have chosen the wrong vacuum line.
