    happy birthday Heckler!

    Thanks guys! I've been away on holidays in Costa Rica and Nicaragua (where I had my birthday) so I missed the post! Jeff and I got together in the fall to take a few photos... the one in my sig is one of them. ;-) Jim

    Greddy Gauges

    The #2 Integration Relay is great for those gauges! I just put in a greddy boost gauge myself. You can get the constant 12 volt and the ignition 12 volt and the ground sources from the wires plugged into the back of the device. The light source unfortunately is harder... go for the wire going...

    Need better vaccuum diagrams!!!!

    Check out this thread in the FAQ: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=128 Most likely you didn't find it because they spelt vacuum "vacume". The correct spelling (according to wikipedia and a couple others) is "vacuum". Not "vaccuum" or "vacume". Have fun ;-)

    Boost pressures at altitude?

    Well... I've solved this whole issue for myself by burying the stock boost gauge... so I don't really care what it's reading anymore! lol Just got the 3" turbo back on today, already had an intake, and I put 3 washers on the wastegate. It's going to approximately 9 psi. :-)

    Boost pressures at altitude?

    Ok, how does this math sound? From what I've been reading, the turbos work on a pressure ratio. So if the turbo had a ratio of 2:1 and it was 100% efficient, then the output pressure at sealevel would be 2 * 14.7, or 29.4 psi. Obviously our turbos can never be this efficient. However I can...

    Boost pressures at altitude?

    Yes. I know it's very slow to respond, but it should still be quite accurate. I took those readings in 4th gear on a long pull, so it had plenty of time to adjust.

    Boost pressures at altitude?

    My boost gauge is reading lower than I believe it should, even though the car has plenty of power. So I did some calculations but the numbers still don't match. Here's what I'm thinking: - Stock boost (manual) = 6.8 psi First question. Does this 6.8 number mean boost pressure above ambient...

    new wheels on the 88T

    I have been humming and hawing about those wheels myself. Right now I'm leaning more towards the KZ-B's, but I'd love to see some more pics of your car! I'm tired of photoshopping the KZ-A's onto mine. ;-)

    A 88 Turbo Virgin here. Please help.

    If you have your owners manual, I'd suggest sitting in your car and reading over it, front-to-back, and check things out. There are some good surprises there, like the number of different adjustments you can do to your steering wheel! It also lists every single light in the instrument cluster...
