Finally have my car graingered... boost is like crack!

[flatlander757]

Best $25 I've spent! Last night I set it to about 12-13psi according to the stock gauge.

When I originally got the car it would peg the gauge and then hit boost cut(cracked WGA line), so I think it may actually be less than what it indicates... I just upped it a bit more, we'll see how it goes when I leave in an hour

2.5 T1 mitsu Sundance..

I also had to figure out what the hell the last owner did for vacuum hose routing...

First I found out the WGA solenoid was connected to the MAP sensor when it wouldn't start, or it would and would run rough as hell.

the FPR was teed into the WGA solenoid under the fuel rail so I didn't see it and was like WTF! when it started bogging like mad under any accelleration at all.

I think the next step will be a nice vacuum block and new lines for everything.

That is a very smart move before upping th boost some more.

air fuel meter...accurate boost gauge...when i got my g-valve in i was the same way....this is fun...but ive seen enough carnage on here from not carefully monitoring how your engine is feeling. the factory system "should" support up to and sometimes past the stock cutout of 14.7 psi...but if a part of your xx year old or more fuel system hiccups or just plain dies...not good if you dont know whats going on....put those is, do your vacuum line thing...and give her hell...

Be careful. Like crack, boost can be dangerous.

remember the D.A.R.E. program?????? i would sum up its existance to CRACK KILLS!! so now that you got started on the gateway drug known on the streets as stockboost be CAREFULL. cuz now you are already on CRACK jus don't miss work cuz of it, then you cant support the more boost habitt



i know i know keep my day job

It's definitely nice having a vacuum block. It's a measure of peace of mind knowing each componet is hooked to its own port.
