2010 MCS (74K miles, auto) - Stock boost?
Hi all.
I have seen different numbers on what the stock boost should be. I have a ScanGauge and it shows maybe a maximum of about 9.5psi under heavy acceleration going uphill (not floored, though).
What should I be seeing with it? Just wondering.
I'm also seeing blue smoke after extended idling in traffic (after about 15+ minutes), then it goes away after the traffic starts moving. Read this might be the valve seals. 1qt every 1000 miles (I check and add every weekend and oil changes @ 4K miles)
Thanks.

I bought this car with 53K miles on it. 75K miles now so I decided to replace the plugs this past weekend. I guess they were in bad shape (they looked a bit worn).
Now I get 14.1 PSI! Crazy how a new set of plugs changed things. So smooth now and power! Took all of 18 minutes to replace them. Super easy and cheap. Of course I had to buy that 14-point thin wall socket and a nice torque wrench.
