a/f meter reading....what should it be
 

Okay okay i know a/f gauge's suck ass....but still they are something to go off of for the most part.. I have a h22a4 which i have recently boosted and am running uberdata..

When boosting at 6psi the meter reads full stoich/first bar of rich....


When crusing on highway it reads straight up like 50%-70% stoich.....


Is that okay...or should i be reading like 30-50% rich when at 6psi.....i was thinkn these readings are a little lean...but wiht standalone maybe its okay.....i wish i could tell...

Don't even look at the gauge unless you are at WOT. That's the only way it will give anything close to an accurate reading.

okay at WOT its at the last bar on stoich or first bar on rich.......thats still a little to lean correct?

I would say so, but you never know what's really going on with that gauge. I wouldn't feel safe at that reading. :-\

yea i was going ot shoot for mid-rich at WOT.....until i get a AEM ugo wideband setup ;D

Re:a/f meter reading....what should it be
 

i thought a good air fuel ratio for turbo is about 2 bars rich. yeah 2 bars rich is a pretty good/safe spot. add a bit more fuel, rather be safe that sorry right?!?

Narrowband O2 sensors are not accurate enough to be trusted. You'd probably do just as well to have a mirror so you could see the colour of your header/turbo. Maybe you could get an EGT installed and use that to tune.

If your still using the narrow band 02 it won't do anything different than the Autometer A/F gauge.

if you don't care too much about squeezing that last bit of power, just make sure you're rich and not pinging and you'll be fine.
