It is an electronic gauge but I had a friend hook up a brand new, still in the box gauge to my car and it read the same as mine. I do have an intercooled setup. I'm going to go take it for a ride/datalog and come back while it's hot to do a leak test.
I'm going to do another datalog, so I'll pay attention to the vacuum at idle and report back. I'll see if someone local has one. Shouldn't be too much to have it smoked, yeah?
I went out driving for 30 minutes and checked it when I got back in the driveway. The stock vacuum/boost gauge was showing 19.7 while my AEM X-Series boost gauge was showing -20.4 to -20.8 vacuum. I think the BOV fixed the issue and now it's a matter of belt slip due to the SC oil getting onto the belt.
I think the BOV fixed it and now it's just belt slip. I'll check into a mechanical but I like the fact I can go back and see what my boost was at (X-Series)
Did you install the vent plug when you installed the supercharger?I went out driving for 30 minutes and checked it when I got back in the driveway.

I made 12.5 lbs on my first run after letting the car warm up for 10 minutes in the driveway. After that, I was only able to make 7.5-10.6 lbs. I popped the hood to look if the belt came off at all and noticed oil coming from the SC fill up. It's not over-filled and it has a brass washer. I'll replace it and see if it still leaks.

I seemed to of fixed the oil leaking out issue but still only making 9-10 pounds. I'm wondering if the belt just isn't tight enough, even tho it wasn't easy to put on. 101 5/8 gates HD belt on the 4th hole from the left. Maybe I'll try out at 100 inch.:shrug:
I took it for a drive and it's still maxed out. I got on it a few times.. Made 10lbs, 14.3 lbs and 13.5 lbs. I pulled over, looked under the hood and there's oil all over. I ensured it was all clean before I took it for a drive. I think the leak is coming from the drain line connection, I'll look into that on a day off... But about the tensioner..
