When i'm boosting, my gauge doesn't read a solid number. It moves like. 2-2-3-2-3-3-3-4-3-3-4-4-4-4- and such. It fluctuates boost as my RPM rockets up. Is this normal? Or am I supposed to be reading solid numbers like 2-----3-----4------5?

AEM boost judging by his signature

I didn't bother reading his signature....

When I start to go into boost, depending how hard I'm pushing it, my gauge will read like 2 then 3 then 4 and so on till I'm at redline, then it hits the 6-7psi mark. I have an autometer gauge, so i don't know if that matters, but it's a pretty constant number.

yeah aem boost. Not sure if thats normal or not lol. Its only a solid number for about a second then it keeps bouncing.

maybe it's because it's a digital gauge? I could be totally wrong and sound like an a$$, but it's a guess....

SMACKyoSELF

it could be that but I just want to see if its like that for anyone else that has a digital aem boost gauge haha. and naw no ones saying youre sounding like an ___! Its all good haha.

My AEM Boost gauge does that too. It's normal as it hedges around the half way point between whole numbers. (1.5, 2.5, 3.5, etc.)

well, my guess would be that the digital display on the boost gauge versus the analog needle or traveling light pattern is far more sensitive and quicker to respond and display fluctuations in readings...

basically the flashing number changes faster than just a regular gauge with a needle spinning around. so it just seems like it is irratic because of how quick and sensitive ahd digital read out is?

does any of that make sense? it kinda does in my head.

BLUEMEANIE

^ yep and since it only displays whole numbers it can't give you an exact reading if you're holding steady at say 6.5, it's going to fluctuate between 6 and 7.


...kinda sucks imo. I love the gauge and I have the matching wideband controller but for the money spent how hard would it have been for them to show fractions to at least the tenth.

ya I have the AEM gauge and the same thing happens to me. 8-8-7-7-8-7-6-8-7-7-7-8. the gauge is kind of a pain actually lol

That's a sucky gauge if it acts like that.

i was wondering are you guys using the boost controller function on the aem? if so what are your settings?

draxcaliber

AEM makes both a digital boost gauge, and a combo digital boost gauge/boost controller call the AEM Truboost.

Go Big or Go HOME!

I can't believe nobody noticed this, he has a supercharger your not going to see full boost until around redline. The super charger ramps up boost like that
