Have you mentioned what you've had done? I can see you have 3 gauges, did you get a dawse and needle valve installed?? If yes, I'd suggest your dawse valve needs to be screwed in a bit if your gauge contstantly shows only 4-6 psi, that's crazilly way too low. Try by screwing it in 1 turn and see how much more boost you get, if not, try 2 and see etc etc etc. Just beware that boost increases exponentionally so it'll be low, then all of a sudden way high.

Also, try starting your own 'help' thread, it may attract a few more eyeballs.

Good luck.
@10G sorry I had a few under my belt by the stage I wrote that.

I haven't installed a needle and/or dawes valve yet that was going to be my solution to the low boost issue I noticed after fitting the three gauges last week. my main worry was that the dawes and needle valve would effect the chip and tune in some way?? i am unaware of the relationship between them and the chip and tune.

So went for another drive this morning after replacing a dead crank battery and boost was roughly as follows:

12-14psi from 0-60kmh @2500rpm
6psi cruising at 60kmh @1800rpm
12-14psi while increasing speed to 80kmh @2500rpm
8-10psi at 80kmh cruising @2000rpm

boost was very minimal at lower speeds???

couldn't get 100kmh readings because traffic blocked up in cairns only 100km zone lol

ALSO egt's for all above were around 450-500deg
