Where the hell is my boost sensor!
Ok My boost guage is not WORKING
. I have no idea why it doesn't. All the rest of my guages work so thats why i think that it is just the boost sensor or a bad connection. So i would like to know where the actual sensor is located at. Oh by the way its the stock guage.

hmm if that sensor was bad, would the thing idle like crap? Or would that be low compression cause my car won't hot start either. When i try to hold an rpm below 4k the rpms bounce up and down. but when i drive the car it drives great

hm...
mine isn't working that well either...like one day it works....while another day it doesn't work...but most of the time...it doesn't work.
my car idles fine, and everything seems fine..cept my coolant leak i had earlier...found out its a hose that ripped, could that be related to my boost gauge not working either?
hat to take apart my intercooler to reach the hose..

NZConvertible is correct! Fix this ASAP! I had the same problem with mine. I tested it by using the shop manuals procedure of applying vacume and the checking the voltages on the connector. Just don't forget to compensate for altitude.

does yours go from -20 when key's turned off up to 0 when the key is on? Mine goes right to 0 when the key is turned on, and doesn't go below 0, or above 0.
Oh yeah, and what's +4500 mm mercury in psi?

Bookmark this site: http://www.anver.com/document/compan.../pressure.html I think you meant 400 mm/hg. Maybe you didn't. My gauge shows a high of 40 x 10 mm/hg or 7.735 psi.

That may be the case on the S5 (witch has ECU-controlled boost, sort of), but not on the S4. What it will definitely do is make the ECU thinks there's no boost, so it won't retard the ignition when you do boost. Tink, tink, tink, boom...

Ok, here's a somewhat related question... I have a Greddy FCD that i'm in the process of installing (i didn't get the instructions). I found my boost pressure sensor, but it seems that i only have 3 wires (instead of four). I have a Greddy Boost gauge, but i'm not sure if that's relevant. If anyone has any idea why i'm missing a wire it would be much appreciated

Forgot to mention that I have a '90 TII...
