Normally when I'm out driving they are both just under the 15 on the boost side of things.The Aspirator said:JPBturbo you need your boost gauge pointing about the same place in the other direction! Sweet pics though. And nice hiding place for your MS, mines been residing there for almost two years too.

Oooooh, must be pretty speedy then... Have you dynoed it yet? Also, how come you have two boost guages?jpbturbo said:Normally when I'm out driving they are both just under the 15 on the boost side of things.
I'm not too interested in going any higher then that since this is still the same old 10.3:1 engine.
It's been known to be kinda quick.klr142 said:Oooooh, must be pretty speedy then...

VOLVOenthusiast said:I wasn't hurt at all. Well, I only had a scratch on my left hand. Nothing too serious. But I guess that's because I was drunk and because I didn't use my seatbelt. I wonderig, how would this accident end, if I would drive any other car...
So I've wanted to know for a while now, is there pressure in the IC pipes at idle? Cause my open dump CBV blows out pretty hard at idle, so I've been curious about the pressure...jpbturbo said:The red one is hot side and the green one is cold mounted on the intake manifold which is why it's the only one showing vacuum.
There's actually going to be slight vacuum in the intake piping at idle; unless there's something wrong, of course.The Aspirator said:So I've wanted to know for a while now, is there pressure in the IC pipes at idle?
