One thing i have always wondered is what if someone has replaced the clocks with a set from a 8v or 16v..... the sensor on the clocks is never meant to see boost so the highest they ever read is atmospheric pressure.... i.e what you are seeing.

 

I'd get a boost guage as i never trust what the mfa says. I wouldn't buy a cheap boost guage either as my ebay jobie only ever hits 7psi..... which worried me after i did my charger re-build!!!

Stuck my proper Mac Tools diagnostic one on there and now i'm seeing 14psi.... much more like it!

and they are expensive?

Ahh... that makes sense. It looks like I've had a new set at somepoint as it was converted to Miles instead of KM.... now I know where my boosts gone ;)

 

Never mind, I'll get a G60 one in Germany in January..
