Screwed the needle in a little farther and all is good!
Dukeboy; yeah its not that hot. That's what it reads. I freaked out and got a themometer and double checked. |
I see you already have this solved but, I wanted to go ahead and clarify something abou the MAP voltage.
the map sensor the voltage is 0.983 and on the drb III it reads 13.5 psi. When I unplug the adrenaline and hook up the truck so that it is back to stock then it reads 1.05 volts and 14.5 psi. The readings the MAP sensor gives are Absolute PSI. This means you need to take the current barometric psi and subtract it from the reading on your DBIII, This will give you an accurate boost pressure or manifold pressure. On average the BARO is 14.7 but, it does fluctuate. This means you were seeing anywhere from -0.2 to -1.2 which is actually vacuum and that is normal at idle. We just don't show vacuum on our gauge. also, my map sensor reads 2-3 psi lower then my mechanical boost guage too!! Also, depending on which gauge you use many of the analog manufacturers have a really high tolerance of 7-10% which could also be the difference. |
