With this kit you will be able to hook up a pressure gauge to your intake manifold and route it inside your car for the purpose of monitoring your turbo charger boost pressure while driving. The only way to properly test the turbo boost is to do it while the car is accelerating under heavy load (preferably going over 40 mph up a long incline). You may be surprised at the readings you get! The instructions will walk you through the process of inspecting and adjusting your turbo waste gate if you are not getting the correct boost pressure readings.
