as long as you are hitting the target boost (which can be seen with a simple Torque app) I think you should be fine .. if the accuracy of the boost readings via OBS is questionable, I don't know |
Well, i'm certainly not worried about over boost, but, i've blown off hoses a few times now, and sometimes it noticeably NA-like, sometimes i get idle problems, and sometimes its just kind of okay. even though i'm almost certain i clamped every possible hose that might be a problem, i'd like to have a gauge that i don't have to worry about. I currently use the torque app with my phone, but i hate having to mess with my phone every time i get in my car and a simple gauge is cheaper than a good mount and a tablet. (plus i dont like the idea of having to look way over to get readings)
