Inspired by some posts on here, I've fitted a boost gauge to my car (2000 S-Turbo) today. It's showing no boost at all. :icon_confused:
There's a momentary vacuum when changing up a gear during acceleration but that's it. The gauge was tested before fitting and responded to boost and vacuum OK.
The car seems to accelerate OK, smoothly but not exactly 'push you back in your seat'.
I took the intercooler off when fitting the pipework for the gauge and there aren't any visible splits in the Y piece. I've also cleaned out the bypass valve, throttle body, restrictor pill and boost solenoid. There's a very small amount of movement in the solenoid, about 1-2mm or so.
Any ideas/suggestions as to why it's showing a boost of zero bar appreciated...
