Default ????????

i have questions

well i finally think the car is 100% perfect fuel psi wise but...

1. my boost gauge quit working...now i know to check all the lines...but i did and there is no problem...so any other tips? and yes it is boosting

2.where do you hook up a boost controller on a neon?...i hooked it up and all but it dose not do **** it just looks pretty and alows it to hit 5to something psi(gauge broke so i dont know)

3. something weird happedthe otherday when i did a quick powerslide...my car beeped(that warning beep) and the gas guage went to zero but came back up after a few seconds...wtf is that?

Did u check to make sure u did not have any part of the vacuum hose that may be rubbing or maybe cut..... i would check that, if not try blowing in the gauge with a small vacuum line hooked to it, to see if the needle is stuck..... ihad a friends car needle get stuck....

what kind of turbo u running? u run the boost controler off of ur waste gate.....


as for the car beeping, dont power slide jk, i am not really sure on that....

well with the boost gauge im confused... just took the car(yes illegally) out on pavement and it works and then it dosent work i cant stand it but it helped taking it out on longet roads im getting way over 120 psi with my fuel (at 5-7 psi)so i still need a hell of a lot of work.

all i know about it is it's a hahn 16g (im not realy into knowing muchabout small turbos) but yes i hooked it up between(fk it i'll get a pic)

120 psi on your fuel pressure? holy $#!t! what are you running injector wise and fpr rate wise (8:1 12:1?) and what is your idle fuel pressure set at?

idle psi is 43-58 i cant get it to stay at 45-55...i have stock injectors but thats just what the psi coming from the fpr (begi) so im sure the stock injectors where hurting a littlei had it down to about 100psi but the cars acting weird now so i cant retest it[&:]

your fuel pressure should be at about 112-125psi while under 8-10 pounds of boost....
