Keep in mind, the WG is designed to save the stock turbo and will begin to bleed early. It is mechanical. An Edge gauge will only show you what the PCM sees which can be fraught with errors. That is why a mechanical one is far superior. A seperate source that can diagnose a faulty MAP sensor or other problem. Ever heard the saying about not putting all your eggs in the same basket?

Thanks Tenn. Yeah I get what you're saying. But, I don't know what Joe installed the boost guages and if there can be variances in where it is installed, how it is installed etc. I'm sure the guage itself is pretty accurate but assume there could be poor ways to install etc. Basically...that's why I'm asking the questions about how much boost I should be seeing unloaded at xxx speed/rpm etc...so I can try to find out if I'm where I should be (according to my current guages)
