    I just got done installing some AGP hard pipes so now that all of the leaks are gone I can go back to setting up the WGA.


    I think that my boost gauge is bad because it says I am spiking 23 but if you look at the map sensor it is reading 18. AFR's are around 11.5 on the spike.

    Does this seem about right to anyone? I'm trying to get everything dialed in for the dyno day on the 6th.

    you're boost gauge might be correct, the stage0 map runs out of resolution at 18.25psi, when i'm running higher than that it just reads 18.25psi.

    I thought the same thing so I dialed back the wga a bit (1/6th of a turn) and the map was still reading about 4 psi lower than gauge.



    Hey Ron the car is clean now it just needs some clay bar lovin and a good wax job. :kiss:
