Boost problem

[Limmy]

Hi Guys

My car once in a while would start off about 5psi higher than the 0, . when i turn it off and start again it is normal reading?? is this due to weather ? or car is starting warm ?

is something leaking ? i'm looking at maybe getting a new intercooler soon , as mine is orignal

thanks heaps

So. The gauge reads higher when you start the engine, or when driving it read higher? You need to explain it a bit better.

sorry . When i start the engine it'll read higher . couple of PSI higher . Happens about 1 - 2 times per month . The EGT is reading normal operating temps . I think i have seen times it has read higher while driving ( but i probably didn't notice what PSI is was reading before i start )

then when i turn the car off start again . It'll be normal reading perfectly .

Un sure what you mean but with regards your IC if its oily chances are its leaking,
you could remove and clean the inside and check for leaks while its apart.
