I hooked my scanner up to get a boost reading. You have to minus stoichiometric pressure. Right here is just a flat acceleration starting at about 50 km/h. I'm gonna try again on the highway. There's a wicked steep part not too far from my house and that will definitely max out the boost.

15lb sounds in the ballpark from what I remember...wish the stock gauge actually had numbers though. Have you tried a bluetooth OBD reader and the Torque app (assuming Android, don't know iPhone equivalent)? Some people have made some pretty cool set-ups using a $15 reader, a cheap Android tablet, and simple mount.

I'm a fan of keeping cars "mostly" stock looking. Including the interior. Having a tablet mounted somewhere just doesn't appeal to me.

This is just one of those things that I have to learn to live with.

^i'm lucky my car has navigation and it's kinda easy to retrofit a tablet there. stock looking.

that's the way to go. If you need extra guages; integrate a tablet, instead of mounting it and making it loook out of place.

If anything you'd be making your car look like the future by mounting a tablet right on top of the dash. haha

Yeah I can't stand that look either. But I meant it more in terms of convenience. It's a nifty set up you can have when you want it, and hide when you don't to keep it all nice and clean.

Get one of those ODBII port bluetooth dongles, a magnet air vent mount for your phone, and run Torque Pro. Looks clean and doesn't mess with the stock set up.

I would have never considered this before BUT, this week I worked on a built Ram 3500. This thing was fully tuned and he had a setup that actually looked pretty clean and tucked away. I never turned it on because I don't F with customers cars but I installed a full exhaust (headers back) and it sounded amazing.

I'm going to look into these options.

I just use my Hondata FlashPro with Bluetooth connected to my phone. The FlashPro app is a nice added feature that I didn't know came with it, but use it regularly now.
