Show us a pic Brent.

 

This is the display unit in the center vent where I can see it while driving.

 

This is the brain that mesures real time from the wide band O2 sensor then feeds the display and converts the scaled voltage to an A/F ratio on the display.

 

This is the wide band sensor hooked up past the muffler can in my case since I didn't have room just past the turbo and to hook it up like I wanted. The position will vary depending on your exhaust setup and in my case I had to get a bung tig welded to make it happen. I found out the hard way you can't use the bung at the collector of your headers.

 

I kept looking at the MSD and wondering how that was the brain. DOH!

Now speaking of the MSD. I read awhile back you used it in conjuction with your WUR (?) to help with your A/F ratios. It seemed like it was a better mouse trap than the Rice unit.

Can you explain how it works again? Please!

TIA

And I want to know where you got the gauge that you placed where the clock use to be.

It looks like a boost gauge and an Exhaust Gas Temp gauge? Is that right?

Jim,

I will PM you about this since it could take some time to fully explain why and how.

Brian,

I got the gauge from Westach.com, I didn't have much room for the gauges I wanted without junking up the inside of the car so I went with the combo type. It worked out really well and then I sold my VDO boost gauge for almost twice what this gauge costed. Yes, it's a vac./boost and EGT gauge but you need to use some thick door/window tape around it for a snug fit.

 

Thanks man! Good information. I'll probably get one of those.

 

No problem.

One other thing, in comparison to the VDO boost gauge it reacts alot faster to boost pressure and you can see what vacuum your running (should be 9-11 in Hg. at idle after warm). This way if anything changes with the vacuum you know you have a problem.

 

Brent,

I'd like some info on this gauge as well.

 

Based on the info Brent supplied, I found this on Westach's site:

3 inch gauges for Turbo Test

Looks like they are like $120 or so.

 

I bought mine for $80

 

share more dude... Tell us how you got it so cheap.

 

I must be special)

Maybe the price went up, did you call them and ask? The model I got is the 3C86T1.

 

Is the gauge any more or less reliable than the stock boost gauge.
