Default few gauge reading qs :)

ive just rebuilt my car and it has only properly bein on road the last 2 days so i just want to check that these readings are okay my gauges have peak readings so these are wat im taking
my car is a 95 classic import with a z4 ecu

water gets up to around 180/200 fahrenheit around town

max oil temp is 200 fahrenheit

max oil pressure has bein 80 psi

boost was 11 1/2 psi but sumtimes wont go past 9 1/2 psi and holds back then sometimes its fine any ideas on this ? as i belive it should boost to like 14 psi correct me if im wroung on that

thanks in advance

Someone has been buying gauges from the US of A...

Temps are fine, pressure is good, BUT what's is the hot idle pressure ? ? ?

Sounds like you may have a problem if she's cutting boost. Expect more when it's cold and/or wet.

All IMHO.

i think the hot idle pressure is about 20 psi not sure will have to check that it started cutting boost 2nyts ago when it was pissing it down. yesterday checked a few things over turned out the 2 n/s coils werent bolted in so i refited them and cleaned all the boost pipes and solinoid drove the car last night seems to be fine but didnt drive it far
