I've been running the AccessPort Stage 2 for about a month(900 miles or so). I have the stock boost gauge in mPa and my boost seems to max out at only .06 to .07 if im lucky. Shouldn't it be at about .1 or higher? Any suggestions would be appreciated. The car runs like a beast but I wonder if there's untapped potential.

the boost gauge could be off. Why don't you look at your accessport and get live readings to see what your at :cool:

what he said. THere is a live boost reading option on your ap menu. Make sure you have someone with you in the car to do the readings for you. Kind of hard to shift, hold the AP. read the AP screen and pay attention to the road all at the same time.

Oh and BTW if your boost is indeed low, you can load the boost "fixer" map from COBB - HWG or something like that.

ok so my boost gauge in the car is right on with the AP boost gauge. I uploaded the HWG map to my car and its still the same. Any other suggestions? Im also gonna contact COBB and see what the deal is. No one else has this problem?

Did you reset the ECU?

hi,

Just curious if you ever had a mbc on your car. If you uninstalled the mbc and installed the T hose the wrong way, you can get low boost. Thats what happend to me and i was maxing at .06 als.

how accurate is the live boost reading on the AP? i hit 16.3 psi in 4th and was just wondering how close that is

i would think its really accurate since the AP just tells you what the ECU is reading. Its definitly more accurate then a mech boost gauge since they somtime uncalibrate and the hose can get all messed up... I would trust the AP over a boost gauge...
