Guage reads at 10psi when full throttle??

OK..I have a autometer ultra-lite boot/vac gauge, couple of days ago when stepping on the gas the autometer read 13 something PSI. Now when stepping on the gas (all the way) the gauge reads 10psi. I talked to Soren at MPJ (who did the install of gauges) thinks one of the hoses connected to the BOV is leaking causing the reading to be wrong......Any advice on this


Thanks

Cobb stage 1 should give you 15 psi.

New update...after looking the hoses...i seen something different....well one side of the BOV hose connects to the autometer hose...then connects to a T fitting, from the T fitting it connects to a UFO looking thing(dont know what its called)...that UFO looking thing is in half and the white thing inside is sticking out....could his affect the PSI reading 10 psi at full throttle.


Thanks guys

You said you have stage 1 flash. If you do, you should get 15psi.
