jmxp69 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Installed Boost/FP gauges today. Everything laid out and ready to go. Pod and gauges roughed-in and ready for wiring. Ground (top left), switched 12v (top right), headlight and constant (bottom) Switched source splice Lit up and ready to go. No vacuum connection yet. Tube is in the engine compartment waiting for the T from the SC kit. It'll just take a few minutes to connect while installing the blower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmxp69 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 PS Boost gauge has been rotated 2 degrees counter-clockwise. It's straight now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe@cpr.com Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Just a heads up glowshift gauges are notorious for being inaccurate. They are cheap Chinese gauges and very often perform as such. It'll be fine since your a supercharger and boost is mechanically locked, make sure you get the correct cobalt map sensor so nic can read boost while tuning.

jmxp69 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Nic said an SD tune isn't necessary for my setup so no need to change the MAP sensor. FWIW: FP Gauge read exactly 58lbs engine off. 62 at idle. We'll see how it does over time. If it doesn't work out, I'm not out much. I'll let you know what I find out about boost when it's installed. If it's not accurate, I think I'll switch to an AeroForce--just didn't want to shell out that much for a gauge I expect to be mostly static especially given the boost is locked.

joe@cpr.com Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I wasn't saying go SD, just the correct map sensor so he can log boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoccoC5 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Awesome!!! In some ways I wish I bought a new kit rather than a used one...so shiny! I swear half of my time has been spent cleaning up the used parts before installing them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Nice! You do the Si or Ti blower? What size pulley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmxp69 Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 V3 SI with 3.6" pulley. I called A&A ahead of buying and got hold of Josh. I told him I had a list of questions and he said "fire away". We probably talked for 45 minutes. Very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
