Just a cheap TIM one (1 bar limit). Hooked it up and went for spin. Unfortunatley after getting it home, and after the shop shut, I noticed that the needle sits at .3 bar with the engine off (did it in the box). So that is going back tommorow. However, compensating for the fact that it is overreading, in 2nd, 3rd and 4th on a dual carriageway bridge we have nearby, I had it go past 1 bar, and back off to just on 1 bar. I guess with the .3 bar over read, then I'm getting .7bar steady max boost. Any idea what max boost should be with the APC hooked up? -- Carl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
