Hey everyone - Sorry if I am asking simple questions but I want to become familiar with m new car. I just got an 03 A4 and it came with the AWE boost gauge in the AC vent pod - looks practically stock. I am familiar with turbos from previous DSMs I have had but wanted to have an idea what stock PSI boost is for this car is as well as idle vacuum to make sure the gauge is working properly.

Thanks

 

boost is like 7psi vacc is like 25

 

Thanks - that's about right where I'm at.

 

time for a chip!!!

 

Does your car spike boost at all?

 

Hello,
Jeff - yep you're right - Since I just got the car I want to do a complete tuneup and change brake pads and run it for a little while longer before I venture into getting it chipped but I am looking forward to that.

Flip - No, no major boost spike at all, I think the most I sometimes see it go up is 8-8.5 range but that's only at night and I'm assuming that's because of the cooler air. Otherwise it runst between 7-8 and 20-25 vacuum.
