boost gauge only showing 0.5 bar?

[Tim_Attard]

Hello, just got round to fitting my boost gauge, on vacum it shows -0.7 bar and under throttle it goes up to 0.4/0.5 and sometimes 0.6

this seems a little low compared to what i thought it would be is this right or do i have a leek somewhere?
Thanks
Tim

not mapped basically standard, its a 1.8t audi a3 8l aum

Sounds about right then I think (been a while since I have seen a std car)... 150hp cars are around 7psi I believe... have you scanned for fault codes?

thats normal boost for a stock car falls off in higher rpm due to tiny turbo mines the same
