    I think my boost gauge has never worked properly...tell me if I'm wrong. It doesn't start at 0, it starts at -.1 never really paid attention to it and now I feel stupid asking. :eek:

    vacuum when you lift, like all the hondas with the boost gagues and no turbo, they reface the dials so they are always at like 35psi

    and that -1, 0, 1.5 stuff

    is it in bars? qbar=14.7psi (Mg or Hg?)
