I have just fitted my boost and oil guage and when in 2nd it boosts to 10 (spot on no bouncing) and in 3rd 4th and 5th it boosts to 20 (spot on no bouncing) and slowly reduces the higher the revs? Just wondered cos ive seen some people on here saying theirs only boosts at 14/16 on revo stage 1.

boosts to around 20 but then backs off to around 14 at 5k, and by 6k its around 11 or 12

i think you'll find yours is similar, no way the tiny turbo can support 20psi for very long

10psi in 2nd though, either somethings wrong or you bought a crappy gauge

:lmao: 210bhp with just revo stage 1 :)

on a second note, you sure they arent talking about when they change gear past revo's peak?

I have got a Jabbasport custom remap and mine only boosts to approx 10 psi in first gear. I then get 15 psi after a slight spike in the rest of the gears. This was probably done to allow tyres/transmission to last a little bit longer.

the guage seems to be spot on, no bouncing or fluctuation, the needle moves to those numbers and stays there. For when it hits 20 PSI it stays there for a good 3-4 seconds and starts to drop off about 5k. but ive done 3 trial runs down the M5 and seems to be ok. I have had the boost upped to 7 on the switch. How can i tell if its a sticking DV?
