-10 Boost?
Noob questions here: Why does the boost gauge go from -10 to +10, how can I have -10 Boost? How much boost should my boost gauge read at WOT on the stock pulley? How much boost should I be getting at WOT with the stock pulley, 3.5, 3.4, and 3.2? It's probly going to vary between cars but what is a good estimate?
How much boost should a boost gauge read if a boost gauge could read boost? lol say that a few times quick.

RE: -10 Boost?
When your engine isn't under heavy load, your bbv opens allowing air to bypass the s/c, so it runs like a normal NA engine (which operates between about 30 and 0 in HG - what would look like the 'negative' side of a pressure gauge). At idle, it should be way 'negative' (high # of in HG), and the harder you press the gas, the closer to 0 it should get until your bbv closes, and the s/c starts making boost- then you'll go positive.

Apparantly they think labelling the gas guage "E" and "F" is too confusingfor people who speak french.
By the way, nobody I know of in Canada measures air pressure in KiloPascals (kPa) other than the weather channel. LOL.
Thanks for clarifying the boost question. Like I said before, I was kinda curious too.

They don't give us the different clusters in the States, it shows a dash panel and says in a caption: "United States Model shown, Canadian model may differ." HAHA. I have seen a Canadian dash though, and you're right...it cracks me up seeing the fuel guage...I went to Nova Scotia, PEI and NB on a bicycle tour one year and to do that, we have to go through Quebec, the first McDonald's we stopped at the cashier asked something in French, and I gave her this BLANK look...her exact words: "Oh, I'm sorry, I can't tell you non French-Speaking Canadians anymore...NEXT PLEASE." I told her I was American, (something I wouldn't do now) "Oh, I'm sorry once again, can I take your order?" It was kind of akward.
