Default Pressure drop?

Ok, Im running quite a large intercooler (evo6 size) and alot of people have been questioning me about what pressure drop im getting.

Well I figure the only way I can find out is with a boost gauge. Mine is hooked up here -


Which is T'd off the FPR right?

What I really want to know is whether this psi reading is taken before or after the intercooler?

Any help would be appreciated.

That would be after the intercooler. The reading you would be getting would be the pressure the motor is getting. You would need to instal a port before the intercooler to figure out what the pressure drop is.

Ahhhhh! sweet! Thanks for that.

So my engine is running 6 psi of nice cool boost

Hmm, Makes me wonder how much boost my turbo's spooling before the cooler eh.

Shouldn't be too much more than that. I would say 7 or 8 depending on your intercooler.
