I just installed a set of gauges(pyro/Boost/Trans temp) im a little concerned with the boost reading .On a stock truck. At 70mph im only reading a little under 10psi.Is this right?Or is this the sign of the turbo going south on me. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif

Cruising it could be 1-10 ...
Is this when accelerating or just crusing? Mine averages about 3psi crusing in the level.

How tight did you tighten the fittings on the boost gauge?

This is just cruising .I first thought maybe i got a little carried away with the tightning,i went back and checked all is ok there.Thanks for the info.

Sure, and that actually sounds a tad high to me, if it's staying locked on 10 psi. It should be close to nil when coasting downhill, 3-5psi on flat ground, and 10+ if climbing a good hill.
