Hey guys...
The car is finally runnin, but when I boost it only reads 1psi on the boost guage... I dunno what the problem is... I tried adjusting the waste gate but I dont see a rise in the boost, any suggestions...
Just to let ya know its a Star Stage 1...

Do you feel the car boosting? If so, then maybe your gauge is just broken. Id go and doublecheck all the vacuum connections, especially the one that goes to your wastegate.

As ^ said, do u feel the car boosting? If so, Id check your line going from the T to the back of your boost gauge. Make sure its hooked up right, and theres no cracks/holes anywhere. You should be able to hear a leak if it is. Also, while the car is still on, take out your boost gauge and listen for leaks at the back of the gauge. I had that problem before, thats why I said that.

yeah, if the car doesnt feel any faster or just a little faster, then check all of your piping or vaccum lines... boost leak somewhere... otherwise, if its alot faster, then the gaug is shot, or not hooked up correctly
