You realy need to do a proper power run log, 3rd gear from 1.5-2k upto red line. That way you can compare requested and actual boost properly.

You can trace it in the logs though, just have to look for it, i.e:

Code:
2360	45.1	990	1070
2480	66.9	1020	1090
2720	74.4	1000	1200
2960	72.9	990	1250
3200	94	1220	1270
3440	90.2	1180	1340
3800	133.8	2290	1600
4440	180.5	2230	2260
5000	167.7	2030	2040

The key thing I now need to determine is whether these readings are absolute or normal pressure.

OK- I've plotted these results onto graphs and it seems that these values must be recorded with normal atmospheric pressure included at 14.696 PSI

The first graph shows the raw values logged by block 115 in PSI, the second is offset by 14.696 PSI to show actual boost provided by the turbo

Legend
Red = Requested boost
Green = Actual boost

From these results it looks as though everything is pretty much spot on, to me at least?

I think I may therefore need to take a look at the way in which my boost gauge is plumbed in as I'm only ever seeing 17PSI max and normal driving off boost it sits at -10. I've sleeved the provided nylon vac line into some 4mm silicone hose which then sits on the green nipple (also using a no-buzz t piece) but I've found http://www.scoobymods.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=210 which suggests another way of setting this up.

Anyone else had any trouble with Autometer mechanical gauges?
