boost gauge RPM

[skip1245]

hey folks

does any one know what rpm will cause the boost gauge to move, so far mine hasn’t moved off zero, but i don’t know if there’s an issue with it or I just haven’t pushed it hard enough.

cheers

Boost gauge should move as you reach 2000 rpm

[skip1245]

really, i have had it above 2000 rpm, but gauge doesn’t move, only really a superficial thing but it would be nice to see it move

Does it feel like the turbo is working,you don’t have any air leaks,what if you nail it,should go to around 1.1 bar standard

[skip1245]

i think its working, you put your foot down she pulls off no issue, i have had it above 6000 rpm at stages in 1-2 gear but no movement on gauge

Does the oil temp and pressure gauges work? If so you either have a boost leak or you need a new guage

It’s not really an RPM, it depends on how hard you have the throttle planted for those lovely exhaust gasses to flow

The problem with that gauge is that when you rev it up to 7000 rpm your gaze has to be on the road 100%!!! So it’s rather a gadget for your fellow passenger 😉

Agree Fresk I have not even spotted the shift light come on yet due to looking out front

May the Ford be with you

in 12 months and 3300 miles I have never actually looked at the boost gauge while giving it any welly !! got me wondering if mine moves now !   Scenario….. ” well officer, I hit the car in front because I wanted to see if my boost gauge was working so was looking at that instead of the road…”

No nothing.

No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.

No tackiness.

Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.

Innit?

plus I’m normally too busy fighting the veering steering and avoiding central reservations and cars to my left I’m attempting to overtake to even consider having a gander at the boost gauge!

I thought the same until sat in the passenger seat when Fred (Mountune) was driving and then it moved. Either I wasn’t paying attention when driving, or Fred is a better driver. Probably the latter!

On the other hand I could occasionally catch a glimpse on the appearing green RS sign for optimal shift point in the central cluster. However, with the Revo map this happens at about 6500 rpm. The speed at these revs, even in second gear, is already criminal on public roads 😉
