Help with my supercharger boost gauge?
#3
no it goes above the "0" but i was just wondering cause gas prices are getting high and i want to save on my gas bill. Do you know if i keep it below "0" will my gas not go down as quick?

Try and stay out of the boost, watch where the boost goes up, and try to stay as low as you can in it, but still have enough power to drive around, so don't lug the engine.
In my old vw gti, i got better gas mileage keeping it in the lower boost pressure and got better mpg.

More air=more fuel delivered through the injectors=more horsepower. A supercharger can actually improve economy if driven reasonably. Less skinny pedal and smoother acceleration keeping it out of boost unless you need it...Unfortunately, though, you have to run Premium fuel which costs more. Tuning your engine will help a lot also. Back to the question... your engine will only develop boost under certain conditions-throttle, load, etc. at idle or normal cruising it should almost always be pulling a vacuum.
