Jake951,

It looks like Zeitronix wideband O2 displays will not work in the gauge pod. Are you mounting under the radio?

I don't think the problem with the factory gauge is accuracy, its resolution. The factory gauge sweeps 15 psi of positive pressure over what, 45 degrees. The aftermarket VDO gauge I've installed sweeps the same 15 psi over 270+ degrees. The factory gauge may be perfectly accurate, but due to the poor resolution we can't be exactly sure what it is telling us. An aftermarket gauge with more needle sweep makes things easier to read and judge
Interesting point. I've heard the top of the stock gauge is 15 psi, so I adjusted my lbe until it's right at the top mark at max boost. I noticed it was pegged once, so I backed off the lbe until the needle is just off the peg.

Eyal......You know I was wondering the same thing about why I have a venturi tube. It is an 89 and there was one in there. I don't believe that my motor was switched. The stamp on the block is M44/52. I wonder why I had it???

Actually I'm modifying my existing A/F gauge in the pod to read the output of the Zeitronix unit. That will give me an analog display of A/F.

I think the way you have set it up right now gives full boost to the WG and no control at all. You should really get an aftermarket boost gauge.
