Don't "dump" the boost gauge for the wideband. Boost gauges are relatively cheap. You can get a new Autometer one for $60. If you ever have problems, you'll be able to see if you're making boost like you should. It definitely helped me diagnose a problem with a turbo Talon I had. Was supposed to be running 24 psi, but only went to 19 when a valve spring crapped out. Definitely helped narrow things down!

Not sure how much boost a 2.55 pulley runs, but if it's 10psi, your clutch will definitely wear down. Just don't rag on it while you're saving up

^exactly.

it wil help you diagnose if you are having belt slippage which is a common problem with them.


and damn ryan you should have just bought my kit and youd be so close to this going on.

I have cheap boost gauge with hose and T at the end in my glove box and only when I need to do some checking I'll hook it up.....otherwise I don't need to be looking onto dancing arrow...plus it's not like with turbo, where if something goes wrong boost can rise high...here you got pulley...

How's the gas mileage with the procharger? And is it easy to keep out of boost during daily driving?
