What do you have on the car right now?

Start with the the exhaust, 2.5 or 3". Then turn the boost up some more. Then maybe a better intercooler, you probably wont need a better one yet though. A drop in K&N is abvious. Maybe a cone if you wanna custom make a hose to the TB.

dont forget injetors, stock injectors n cal's normaly wont be ne good over 15 psi ive found that out the hard way a few times if u dont wanna chane injectors add a few (two) cold start injectors with alchol injection and control them with a hobbs switch to turn on around14 psi for one and ne thing over 18 turn o the other on

It looks like you have been around for a while so you should know what a grainger valve is. That manually turns up the boost. So you can up the boost by that. Other than the injectors or adding the extra injectors your stock fuel system should be fine unless you are making a pretty good amount of power.

Before you go any further, you need to buy and install a good air fuel gauge if you dont already have one. The brand I bought is called a Dawes device and is VERY bright. I purchased mine from Chris at www.********************

ya i klnow what a grainger valve is but i dont really know how to install one or anything...ya i wanted to up the boost because when in stalled the BOV i think i lost a couple psi and it seems like i have much more lag then i did before.. are there any ways to prevent lag or like make it less obvious or whatever? how come the air fuel guage?

I am not great at explaining things but here we go...
When you turn your boost up you have a chance of running lean on fuel. When you run lean under WOT it only takes a splt second to toast your motor. Thats where the gauge comes in handy. If I see a red light at WOT I know to back out of it and either check for a problem or know the fuel pressure needs to be adjusted. You can take a chance and not run one but a $50 device could save you a ton of cash = new motor.

ya k ill check into that thenbut first i need to raise the boost.. ha... also before i forget about this.. how does the air fuel guage get installed?

AZTurboMini · 06-02-2004, 10:57 PM

By you or someone that knows how to wire it! 3 wires...no big deal.

TIIdaytona · 06-02-2004, 11:14 PM

Go to http://www.thedodgegarage.com/ and on the left side of the page will be links. Click on Turbo Database and you will find what your looking for. I would highly suggest reading everything in the Turbo Database before you start doing anything to your car for your own good.

alrite awesome thanx alot

AZTurboMini · 06-03-2004, 12:07 AM

Glad I could help.

TIIdaytona · 06-03-2004, 12:11 AM

it says that it controls from a minumum of 22 psi?? can it work if i only want like 15 or something? and also im sure i already asked this but would i need bigger injectors or can i just play around with the air fuel ratio? and also would u suggest the eay one or the harder one with the bleed valve or just the grainger?
