Stock boost gauge

[chadkassinger]

I know the stock boost gauge isn't very accurate but as far as reading the gauge what's the paid for each line on the gauge. Just curious

Well would help to know what car your talking about bro?? Lol

Not sure what you're asking. I think it's the "paid" word that messing me up.

As for the OEM "boost" gauge, who the f*** knows. Just ignore it and get a real gauge (must have boost and vac).

First bar is -30 vacuum. Second bar is 0 boost, third bar is 10psi, fifth bar is 20psi.. Atleast it matches up 80% of the time with me reading my aftermarket boost gauge.

Stock gauge is useless, and its not close to accurate anyways, as its only a "guestimate" from the ecu.

The only useful part about the stock boost gauge performance wise is using it for knock count when you have ECMlink. Other than that I wouldn't rely on it for much more than in general showing there is boost and vac. If your leaving the car stock then it works fine for that.

Even tho the stock boost gauge doesn't have numbers next to it as referace piont, I found it usefull to set the stock boost needle as ignition timing gauge. After looking at the gauge compared to the laptop read out you start to get used to where the needle is and what the timing is. I also found it usefull to set knock warning into the check engine light, two counts of knock retard and my CEL pops off all bright and what not, pretty decent warning system I guess

Well I don't plan on leaving the car stock not saying its going to be completely build in a. Week or nuthing Im more of the type of Guy that does regualar maintenance always cleaning it. Speaking of cleaning it rho I was wanting to remove some vacuum lines from the throttle body bieng as I just cleaned it and ported it a little bit and did the coolant delete. How do I go about doing that I can't understand all these other threads. Do I just cap off the throttle body nipples and and cap off the other end of the lines as well. I'm not going to do a full vaccine delete I'm just starting out easy here so please help.me

You already started a thread about your vacuum delete issue. I left you a step by step post on how to delete your EGR/EVAP system. Please don't just go around creating different thread asking the same thing.
