Yes that is the stock boost setting for a VW spec k24/k14/T3. Well, actually 9-10 psi but your boost gauge looks to read 1 psi lower than normal.

yeah gauge is off or you have a dirty air filter or something, shouldn't be any noticeable vacuum.

I would be so bored if I was only making 8psi..

On my my stock jetta with t3 I have never hit the books stated blowoff valve pressures.

What are those noises between shifts?  I can't hear anything like that on my car, just some slight whining when getting on boost with the pedal to the floor, nothing when letting off.

An Upgrade of 140 percent and you didn't have to do a thing to the engine.  What brilliance.  But we all know how that rule really works.

Nooo,
THOSE lights add HP.  We just don't know how much yet.  Working on the metric to chili pepper conversion factors.

Might only be less than five.  Depends on where the decimal in the conversion factor ends up.
