spc2125 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Thinkin ill buy that ebay front lip. Or maybe boost gauge. Or something else. Who knows. We'll see how the money situation is in a week or so. But robotrice, what spring are you running with your forge? Mine is coming today!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robitrice Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 no idea its rated for 20-25psi, i forgot the color i think its yellow... do you have a wideband yet spc? If you are looking for gauges i highly recommend VEI's dual gauges...ill snap a pic for you and post it on my lunch break. they are digital gauges and look great and well put together. i had a DEFI Racer boost gauge before and being one of the top gauges in the industry i liked it but didnt fit what i was going for and i found VEI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a spot on it on my DP but i dont have anything for it yet. Im still building the bank again. But it will go back down at the end of the month (dyno) and begin of the next month (car payment, insurance) But in due time will i be there. But I was looking for a cheap prosport boost gauge for now just so i can monitor it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robitrice Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 afr is a bagillion times more important to monitor than boost....you can have boost leaks and not even see them on a boost gauge, running lean however can cause boom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrw Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 I'd pass on the prosports imo. I have them in my car and I'm not overly thrilled with them. When they die or really drive me nuts I'll be replacing them with something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrw Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Do you use any shims? What are they used for and where do they go? They compress the spring a little bit. Just bring the box with all the springs and shims with you to the dyno. If the spring needs to be shimmed or switched out it's a 10 second job.

I was going to go with two shims and the yellow spring and drive to work and see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
