Are there and boost gauges available yet for the 2.0?

Are you talking about the gauge pod? Any gauge with an appropriate boost range will work.

Anyone know where you would tap on for it? I new to the turbo stuff. I figured you could get any guage that read the psi range for our turbos

I was wondering about a boost gauge. Is there anything in the Infotainment or Off Road Pages?

Nope.

Does anyone know how much boost the 2.0T makes?

Mine makes 24.x psi initially but tapers down to 21-22 in higher gears. Runs a lot more boost than I expected.

24 PSI??? Are you sure?

 

[FUHL]

I am guessing it is more like 6-7 PSI

Volume matters. PSI by itself is meaningless.

Typical measure of a turbo is in pressure.

Absolutely. Reality is efficiency is really key. Larger turbos will have a more dense charge as the air isn't as heated. Lag is an obvious downside. The key is finding the right efficiency utilizing the smallest turbo possible to achieve the desired air charge.

I was just pointing out you have to consider the air volume required by the engine to provide the level of performance needed by the vehicle.

In a 2l engine with the output being discussed, you need a really well optimized turbo to create the positive pressure required at the intake manifold to supply the engine with the volume of air it needs. High PSI should not be surprising in this application was my primary (but not well articulated) point.

I can't believe it is making 25 PSI, no way.

25 might be supercharged. Turbos are a bit less.

A bit less? Even that article says 6-8 PSI is typical.
