I posted a thread a couple days ago about potentially having a boost leak, ok, no I think I have both a ****ed up boost gauge and a boost leak, It says I am only pushing 5 lbs of boost, but it still pulls hard, I dont get it. My BOV is much quieter now though, but that could be because I put my stock tips back on and now I sound like an effin 18 wheeler going down the road, but still, it was much louder before... please..... help a man in need......

 

Please help!

 

With your car turned off does your boost gauge go back to zero ?

 

its just a busted gauge... dont worry izzy

 

yeah, no matter what sounds like you need a new gauge... start there. and RELAX

 

Like everyone else said, replace the gauge, and if you feel you have a leak, do a boost leak test. Thats the only way to tell.

 

How much does a boost gauge run for? Just incase my un-friendly neighborhood dodge dealership doesn't want to change it for me, should be covered under warranty right?

Oh, no the needle doesn't sit at 0 when its off, it sits close to 10 vacuum, also when I am driving it and release the gas, the need goes all the way down and even hits the little stopper *whatever you call it* on the gauge at 30 vacuum

 

Dodge replaced my boost gauge and my dealer was an *** hole. My gauge used to buzz, it is a problem in the '05, many people, including a few on here have had issues with them.

 

Oh Christ Izz, that things TOAST!!! Yes they will replace it for nothing....you couldn't possibly do anything to break it.

 

ohhh yeah, that gauge is fried!
