    how do you guys measure your turbo pressure? in psi?

    can you do it yourself without spending much? or go to a particular shop that specializes this?

    oh I see, balak ko lang po kasi e measure onetime after adjusting turbo pressure because of the added intercooler.

    is there are small cheap meter that I can use?, and not for display in the dashboard? nakakahiya kasi, sa van ko lang ilagay

    kung wala, magkano po kaya yung pinakamura na gauge?

    autogage is ok pero it might not be the most precise since the cheap vacuum hoses tend to cavitate under boost.

    defi, apex'i, blitz, hks are good reputable brands. medyo pricey though.

    some use BAR as the measurement.
