I have been having a problem with my stock boost gauge not reading right so it obviously needs to be replaced but I just put on my custom made cold side pipe and greddy BOV and now the gauge is reading about 6psi. That is still about 5-6 psi lower than it was reading. I know there is the adjustment on the top of the bov but does that adjust how stiff the spring is or does that just adjust noise. I called Racing Zone and they said its just noise. I thought it was stiffness. Let me know if anyone can help.
Thanks

its leaking...you need ot presurize the sytem and look for leaks.
search for 'boost leak tester' on google or srtsuckums.com

okay thanks. hey slowpoke you have stage 3 but did you upgrade to a 30 psi gauge or do you still have the stock gauge? If you have the bigger gauge and want to sell the other one let me know. I know i can get an autometer gauge but i would prefer to get the srt gauge again.

I wouldn't listen to anybody at Racing Zone, there are only about two people there that have a damn clue, and one of them is a dick......you figure out which one!
