Vacuum gauges are fun

They are even more fun in a turbocharged car.

Idle increased to 21-22 inches and I can now cruise @ 40mph @ 19 inches, 65 is about 14-15 still, and interesting enough 75-80 mph registers 15 inches also compared to 8-10 when i was n/a. My setup uses a super efficient individual runner design exhaust manifold and smallish twinscroll turbo for the ulitmate in power and response. Even though i'm untuned right now and can't boost positive (i can only boost atmosphere) the turbo still moves quite a bit of air.

Need to install my MPGuino though

But raw numbers indicated around 48 mpg on my first turbo tank and that was with me ripping on it as much as possible becuase i love the sound of my BOV
