Default sr20det 5 psi

just hooked up my boost gauge today. when i took it for a spin the vacuum reading is about 25-30 but under boost it gets up to 5psi. stock everything except front mount. gauge reads a steady 5psi not jumping around or anything. is that normal, i thought stock boost was 7 or 8 psi.

Stock boost is 7 psi, however after soooo many miles of that spring holding the wastegate shut, being heated up plenty and being squished when the wastegate opens, its fatigued, either get a boost controller, or a new wga.

is 25-30 your idle vac or decel? Your gauge might just be low 2psi. What gauge is it?

i'm thinking it is a combination of a worn out wastegate and an off gauge...

my monies on the gauge judging by the unusually HIGH vacuum, and LOW boost.

I'd listen to this just to be on the safe side, go buy a new gauge and wastegate or spring if you can find a replacement and see what happens.
