just installed cheap and nasty boost gauge (calibre).
took 1999 wrx for test drive the highest boost reading was about 10-11psi, is that normal.
the gauge did make a funny noise under boost i'm guessing that's normal.??

car pretty much stock standard. 3 inch exhaust.

stock boost is around 14psi. if it is a mechanical boost guage, it could be leaking air out somewhere

i also probably would beleive a mechanical guage, so often they lie!

the gauge makes a crazy buzzing sound when accelerate. At full boost it buzzing hard out.
to me it sounds stuffed.

should of bought electrical gauge.
to stop buzzing i need a air pressure regulator. or something like it. what a piss around.

get yourself a secondhand autometer gauge and you will have no further problems, theres been a few 30psi ones for sale lately, If you cant find one in perth I have one sitting on the shelf im not using
