i didnt have the right connection when installing the gauge.. its leaking a little bit.. Will run up to about 18 or so.. should be pushing 22 or 23... Gonna get the right stuff for it tomorrow.. Got an intake and blow off plate on the way.. then all I need is the exhaust and hot and cold side intercooler pipes.. Then I will have almost every bolt on lol

22 psi in a stock 4 banger? I had no idea they ran that much boost.

They sort of grow wild here, but they need a lot of water. We actually get dewberries more common here, which is why because they're bigger.

I am waiting for a tuner to come out for them.. This speed limiter is BS and the car has so much more potential.. Might end up going with a Madness computer for now.. Depends on if I want to spend the $$ on it
Jeez, dude. You've had the car for like 2 weeks and you're already hot rodding it.

Uhh yea duhh.. just waiting on the intake and blow off plate to get here. Will fix the boost leak then. They should be here sometime this week.. and yea they peak at 22 psi.. I can get about 20 in 4th gear.. the car is really detuned from the factory.. makes for the good mpg... Exhaust coming in a few weeks. Debating on a catback or turbo back..

What's your MPG currently? Just curious, and when are you going to dyno it?

Getting right around 30mpg. Mixed city and highway.. ill dyno it after a turbo upgrade.. there is a Dart out there with full upgrades only putting 195 down to the ground.. need new injectors and a better way to tune it.. there is talk of a turbo kit for them. Again just a matter of cracking the programming to be able to tune it better
