Been so long since I used one, I dont remember....
At what rpm do yours start showing boost, and how much?

It's more load dependant.
With Justins 80/90 probably sub 1000 rpm ( given a load is on it ) with my 1993 with an ats 093

Turbo spools under thermal expansion. If you're just cruising at speed you'll see very minimal boost. Unloaded going down the main drag at 45 I typically see 2-4psi. You'll see most boost when accelerating or when loaded. You also want to make your turbo spool linear with your throttle input. If you just mash the go pedal, you'll get very slow spool and lots of smoke. Roll into the throttle. As rpms increase, slowly give it more.

I guess to clarify, say like 3rd gear from idle speed wot, what does the boost gauge do below 1500 rpm.
