g'day gents, i also have AUTOMETER guages fittedand my probe is on the bend post turbo. i have a 2 3/4 beaudesert exhaust which is by far the best mod i have done and as for temps mine gets up to 550 up hills if i am getting into it also on the freeway doing a dollar ten is around 350. i found the guages were an easy DIY instal and i am happy to explain how i went about mine if anyone needs some pointers cheers....
How doesn't it? More boost equals more air which then means more fuel.Quote:

I'm hoping to find this out for myself soon. I was running 16PSI. Turned it down to 10PSI to see what its like. Around town I can definitely feel the difference, on the highway at 100k's, no difference in performance. BUT, my trip down to Geelong and yonder and back again I can say I have used less fuel. Still got half a tank so I won't know for sure until its empty.
Are you talking about peak boost? I still have about 16psi peak boost but have adjusted to have minimal boost at light throttle which has greatly reduced fuel consumption.
Peak boost bud. Don't give a rats about anything in between. :driving2:
I have a peak boost of 18lb. I reakon use the turbo, thats what its there for. I would rather be at peak boost and get over a hill crusing than having to drop a gear and rev the clappers out of it. I am useing between 11-12 lt / 100 from a 3l crd
That's the point I'm making, have a high peak boost but I make sure I have minimal boost at cruise - THAT is the point of a turbo, it gives a smaller engine flexibility of power when you need it and economy when you want it.
