so you dont think that i need any ecu upgrades or anything right now? ya its just a gauge that looks like my after market oil pressure and temp and boost gauge but you say its supposed to go rich like that hmmm thats strange i wish we could meet up and u could drive it. then u could see i dont think its just because of the amount of boost but i really dont know anything about turbos the only thing i know is what my mechanic said about getting some kind of upgraded ecu. before i had a dual stage boost controller that wasnt setup corretly but man i miss that power it was just insane before but it also roasted that engine so fast.i really appreciate the feed back you guys are awesome so glad i found this forum

 

no you dont need an upgraded ECU or a chip. You need a piggyback to tune the A/F ratio a bit. Hopefully you already have upgraded fuel. But once you get the tuning device whether it be an SAFC or DSMlink, and then get a wideband guage then you can really get it running the way its supposed to be. But i would try and do a boost leak test first to make sure there isnt something stupid leaking like a coupling. You can do the test very easily. Just go to VFAQ and it tells you how to make one

 

any ideas on where to get that wideband gauge and the dsmlink i would assume i also need a boost controller again?

 

You dont have a boost controller right now?

 

nope sure dont just running the stock waste gate setting and with all my mods intake exhauast im boosting a good 10-12 psi from what my ****ty *** turbo gauge says

 

i thought you said your running a 16g? if you are i would definetly get a MBC first. And then find out what fuel mods you have. And id get an SAFC II and a wideband o2 guage. Then youll be amazed at the power youll get out of it.

 

whats an safc II i have no clue what that is but ya i have been looking at boost controllers i used to have one before but we took it off and now im realizing i problably should of just turned it down anywaydo u have any good ideas on places to look for an o2 wideband gauge

 

You can find them all over. E-bay, slowboyracing.com, hopupracing.com Just do a yahoo search and you'll find countless stores that sell them.

 

and there are many types of them too. Actually i think there is a thread from yesterday of someone askign what brand to get. I dont remember in what section though. But i personally like the AEM UEGO
