Thrashing it in mine i hit over 20psi easy everytime, if i boot it in 2nd i got 22psi, and when i put my foot down in 5th from low i hit 26.. Surly you should be hitting more than 16psi? When i had stage one i was hitting 20psi easily in 2nd upwards..

its on standard revo setting on stage one not sure if boost is that high or could be cranked up a bit
this is mine now ive removed all that n249 valve all boost is direct now from inlet manifold and boost gauge direcly t`d into top of dv boosts right up to 20 psi
LEEROY yeah i have got the double nomad pillar mount thing! y does that matter?? at standard i should be gettin more than 5 shouldnt i?
Hadz do you have vagcom? Ideally you could do with doing some data logging on the delivered boost in block 115. I dont think 5psi is overly low for a standard cupra but somebody may correct me. Also its possible intake temperatures may be a factor but unlikely on a non-remapped car.
Lee is your car running ok now then, i remember reading somewhere u had problems after fitting the K03s...

I thought the 'R' hit nearer 10 psi and the Cupra peaked at 5-6psi? Been that long since i ran standard boost i dont remember lol
Make sure all your vac pipes and the pipes to and from the intercooler are tight. I would replace the vac piping for silicone ones anyway if you havent already done so. Also what dump valve have you got fitted?

i havent got vagcom and to be honest i dont really know what it is! i thought that 5 was rather low but if thats what other people get ona standard cupra then im not to worried! what is block 115?
i have got a forge dv! im going to replace them all but where is the best place to by the silicone hosing from? is the stuff on ebay alright? also what thickness do i need?
How long has the Forge DV been fitted? Maybe it needs servicing. Also just out of interest what colour spring is in the valve?
You will need 3-4mm vac pipe, try forge motorsport or ebay like you said.

because i have double piller mount and my top gauge (oil) mists up aswell, have u got an autometer gauge aswell?? Its because they r not sealed units and if u have the heaters on and the window open its mists up very annoyin i know..

i have stewart warner gauges and mine keeps misting up! its proper annoying isnt it! i thought it was me or i have a faulty gauge! is there anyway of stopping it? i wonder y it is only the top gauge that does it?
because the bottom gauge is gettin loads of heat or air from behind the gauge, and the top one doesnt get that i guess?? I even sent a gauge back because i thought it was faulty but the next one happened again.. 
u got any idea how you can stop the top gauge steaming up?
also which is better 3mm or 4mm for the vacum hose?
