    I fitted an Auto meter boost gauge to my 04 Disco and it reads a maximum of 17 psi when the engine is under a full throttle situation ie going up hills or overtaking. The gauge tube is plumbed into my home made EGR bypass flange. The best place to fit is post intercooler. Regards Robbo.

    My question is, "what was the reading prior to you fitting the gauge?"

    Now, the answer is obvious, hence fitting of the gauge.

    The point being, that if there wasn't a problem prior to the gauge, and the car is running normally, is there a problem at all?

    IIRC, the ECU will shut the engine down if it detects over-boost, and with the previous comments from out learned colleagues, I would say that you might have a slightly inaccurate gauge, or are just lucky that you get a bit more bang for your buck.

    nope. engine will not shut down, the fuel side of the ecu will go into limp mode and cut most of ther fuel delivery, you will have next to no acceleration but the car will still be drivable.
