Normal Levels?

Just got my gauges in today. They look sweet. Just wondering what some normal levels are for EGTs Tranny Temps and Boost at different speeds.

Obviously, there are variables, but I was just looking for something to compare it to. My tranny is at 125-150, which is right where it should be I believe. The pyro has green, yellow and red and I am well within the green at 400-600 around town and 800 peaking on an on ramp. Boost has me thinking, I am 99% sure I have some leaks. I have 0-2lbs of boost until I get to about 40mph. I PEAKED at 10lbs when I hit the freeway onramp. This seems pretty low to me

Yep... your boost is low.. stock with no tune should be around 15 when you push the pedal hard.. I have a 60 hp tune and get 22 lbs. on mine..

I'm gonna get some new boots. In the mean time I built a DIY boost leak tester.

I have a e99 and my EGT runs about 8 under normal non towing driving. My trans temp gets about 50 degrees above outside air temp. I did add a 6.0 trans cooler which helps keep the temp down So today it was about 65 here and my trans temp was about 110. Boost is under 2 if just putting around but have had it up to 20 going up a grade pulling 10k. If I just jump on it without towing I can get to 17 or 18 on the boost. I dont' know if it makes a difference but I have read that the e99 has a smaller turbo than yours so you should be getting more than me and definately more than 10?

At 10lbs it was sucking lots of air. Louder than I would expect it to be at 1/3 of its max capacity. I have suspected boost leaks for a while.

I know your more concerend about your boost but I paid closer attention to my egt today. I idle about 2.5 I run down the road between 4.5 and 7. Climb to 8 if going up a slight grade at 55 mph. I did not want you to think I was running at 8 just going down the road. Let us know how the new boots work out...
