FINALLY BOOSTED /Cheer
 
Hey guys ill get pics soon enough, but i am indeed finally boosted. Man who woulda thought that it could feel THAT good. Only about 9 Psi on the boost gauge but man does it pull. Few questions though, mainly is it normal for the boost gauge to take a lil while to see anything? Mine will sit on 0 for a few minutes then start reading vacuum and boost. Also, instead of having the block fitting mounted straight to the block, we ran the nylon tubing that came with the oil pressor sensor to the firewall and mounted the fitting there and from there it goes to the turbo and gauge and also has the sensor mounted to it. Problem is when im sitting still in nuetral the oil light comes on and flickers but as soon as i give it any gas it goes off? This sound ok? Lastly as far as the pcv valve goes should i juss disconnect it from the throttle body and point in down, would that be ok?

If your vac/boost gauge lags, something in your setup is wrong. Could be the gauge itself.

I thought about that, but as soon as it gets some vacuum it runs fine, very responsive. It may be how we have it ran. I couldn't find any t's at home depot so we got some brass fittings and kinda made our own vacuum lines and such. Thats prolly the problem :S So about the oil thing you think anything to be worried about?

I pulled the purge line off the back of my intake and use that port for a source. You should read vac as soon at the car starts.

Well i think its the vacuum line we made for the boost gauge, so where do i find a tee that goes into the big vacuum hose down to the lil one that comes with the gauge??? Home Depot is a no go here. >:(

We just ran a the little boost gauge line inside the bigger vaccuum line about 3 inches. Used a lighter and fingers to kinda shrink it down a little, and while its still warm we ziptied the ---- out of it. Works great 8)
