GEN 2 Boost Level while accelerating from a stop in Sport Mode

[Todd Sherman]

I have 1600 miles on my new 2019 SCAB. Been using Sport Mode a lot more now that its broken in. I do notice that when accelerating from a stop going through the gears, the Boost Level even when juicing it pretty good is minimal, like barely see the bar on the Boost Gauge. The vehicle clearly moves out well in sports mode but wondering why little if any boost in Sport mode.

Whats been everyone else's experience or might I have a problem with my boost ? Would appreciate commentary....

maybe there’s a small leak, tubes not seated or sealed completely? I’d think you would see a DTC for it but it might be worth a visit to the local service department. Boost spools really quickly on the eco ; if you mash the throttle from the start, does the gauge go to full?

I would say you have an issue. Mine max’s Out in about a sec. If the truck is moving out and you can tell the boost is kicking in it might just be an indication issue. I’m assuming you are hitting the throttle hard from the line? Ifyouare not putting thepeddle to the metal it may not be going to full boost.

If a 802a truck, configure the center stack to display vacuum/boost values in order to check psi vs a sliding bar at top right.

Yep go and check boost pressure on that specific display on your 2019. It should show 17-18psi under full throttle.

Mine reads about 18 psi max...and doesn't take long at all to get there..

Thanks appreciate it. I have the 802a so will configure that guage for my center display and go mash the pedal and see what I get.

There is something wrong. It should go almost all the way full on the gauge. Boost leak or issue with the sensor or something. Does it feel slow/sluggish?

How do you see boost on a 801A ?

On a 802a truck, Go to 'Truck info' then "measurements" to scroll for any measurements you would like to check.







I have my 'Display' 'My view" set up to show this 'gauge view' all the time while driving: vacuum/boost on left, oil pressure on right. The gauges are incredibly responsive. you can display 1 or 2 gauges all the time in that view, I chose the 2 most important to me normally..

This is what I see all the time when driving:
