Just stuck a boost gauge (autometer) in but I think somethings wrong. At idle it sits about -20 but on the go I can't get it to go over about 5 psi, that was at over 4k revs in 4th gear with WOT before I ran out of road !! at 3k revs it was sitting at zero
Can anyone give me any pointers as to how it should read as I go up the rev range ?? It's a MY96
All the piping looks ok but I guess I may have a leak somewhere, I've T-eed off the centre of the 3 pipes.
Any thoughts ??

Exactly the same thing happened to me with an autometer gauge, although mine didn't show any vacuum (usually around the -20). are you sure you are taking the boost feed from a stable source? check with chiarks siteas i think there are some photos there.
hope this helps,
