Vacuum at idle
I got a crap used boost gauge thats off by about 1.5 but at idle i'm showing about 15in of vacuum. How much do you guys get?
|
20-22 is normal i believe at idle.
|
What altitude are you at?
If you are at 7k+ like me, than 18-20 is normal. |
timing affects idle vac... if you're below 10 degrees your vacuum will drop from normal.
|
I havent checked the timng but if anything it's advanced because I get some ping with 93. I'd bet anything it's my POS gauge. Gonna order a new one now thanks. I was thinking 20-21 thanks for verifying :)
Edit: Just ordered a VDO |
I show 21, on average, at idle here at sea level. That's on a Defi electronic gauge.

Ryan too bad the defi only shows peaks and not minimums! |

$150 on a boost gauge is baller status where I come from but there's nothing wrong with that. I probably won't spend $150 on my whole exhaust and downpipe.

Not sure what you mean? Are you saying it will only recall peak and not minimum? The set I have don't have recall anywho.
Ryan oh I thought you had the Link setup. guess you aren't as baller as he thought ;) -baller |
for 150...you could get 3 autometer gauges that are accurate enough to the eye...defi ftw if you want a simple install and nice looking gauges...but to monitor boost the best way is to use a map sensor that is logged!!!

22 here.
|
18-20 for me. You guys are running VERY high vacuum.
Reminds me when my teacher told me once that it wasn't possible for a car to have that much vacuum at idle. I had plenty of fun making fun of him. :) |
my VDO gauge arrived today. 21 here.
|
20 here.
|
I actually have the prosport.com gages. I love them, and so far have been some of the more accurate gages. The price is very right also.
|
Hooray for 15. Siemens VDO gauge, if they're good enough for Porsche in the 70s, they're good enough for me.
