67666, finally boostin
Posted by av8er, Mar-25-04 11:23 PM
just had to let you guys know that I just finished my star stage one install. started at 9 last night and just finished up (it is 530 am) every thing seems to run good, no leeks. but I do have one question. I have a autometer pyrometer (phantom if it matters) when the ignition is in the off position the needle sits at zero like it is suppose to but the second I turnb it to on/run it poi8nts straight down. dorve the car and it did not move one inch. I have checkled all the wires and connections. has anybody had this problem before??? or does any one know how to remedy it, other than calling autometer(obvious) TIA
PS boost is great !!!

triple check your wireing!! it either aint right, or its a bum gauge. more than likley you got a wire crossed tho... good luck.

ok guys.. sorry to be slow to get back to you, after I posted that messagfe I went back and double checked my wireing, turns out I had the wires from connecting the back of the gauge backwards. I feel like such a dumb ass!!! simplest thing and I over looked it.. oh well, I am lovin the boost. I can see how this could become addictive REAL easy!

boost feels great! I can't wait to get my turbo. I've ridden in an srt4, and a wrx. Other turbo cars, but those are the only two with similar displacement, and had been reved to 6.5-7k ;)
