Default Turbo pressure

Heyho

I don't know if my turbo is working. I ordered gauge to see what it makes.

Now my question: How much pressure do you have at what rpm.

My on is still stock, what should i expect to read?

Under hard acceleration I get 25 pounds with a stock H1c. Just cruising it will drop to anywhere between 0 and 5 pounds. Since turbos aren't mechanically driven the pressure will vary.

At idle the turbo is just along for the ride. It takes heat and pressure in the exhaust manifold to get the turbine spinning. I would suggest a pyrometer {exhaust gas tempture } to go with the manifold pressure {boost} gauge.
