Whoa I leeve and yall start talkin about pinched and kinks in your hoses wow [sm=insomnia.gif]
That's what I was thinkin too.I was hopin Mayfair might throw a pic up to look at though.

 

Hey Mayfair... with help from FroneDaddy you should be done now! As for the boost.. at idle your not going to see anything on the gauge... puttin around town you should see 0-8lbs...take her out and light up them rear wheels and watch that boost climb

 

LOL ... I wish I wouldda known that earlier Splat

Story Time ...

I put the new ferrel in and as carefully as I can, I put the gauge back in to the housing. Before I do though, I start the truck and stick the line into my ear just to see if I could hear anything. Sure enough, it sounds like SOMETHING is going on, so I screw it onto the gauge and put the gauge back in. I fire up the truck and NOTHING. I was like Clark Griswald kicking his reindeer out on his front lawn screaming all kinds of naughty words. Then I'm like "Well, since it's in I might as well go out and get the bulbs I need". As I drive away I look over and the boost gauge IS MOVING !! It was then that I realized that it drops to zero at idle and it's only when theres a load on it does it begin to move.

WHOO - HOO .... time for a TEST !!

Up onto 95 I go and I MASH it !! I watch this thing swing from the left all the way to the top but once it gets near 15 it starts wiggling all over the place like my highschool prom date. Is that normal?

It looks like my EGT's sit around 600, but I'm AMAZED at how fast it goes up and down just a couple of hundred degrees !!

Fuel Pressure no matter how hard I mash it seems to stick right around 13lbs

BADD AZZ !!!

 

you should be topping out around 26psi. if 15 is all you get you may have a leaky boot.

donnie, you may have just found why you only get 13mpg.

 

I was surprised to,o to see how much the egt's go up and down once i had a guage.

 

What the heck is a leaky boot drew ??

 

I'm talking about the rubber boots that go between the tubeing, turbo, intercooler, and intake horn. if your only getting 15lbs I bet one is leaking. you should be getting around 24-26lbs stock.

 

dude that is way too much information... [sm=icon_rofl.gif]

 

I'm not sure if I know what boots you're talking about, but if I just follow the path I shoud find them right?

Do you think it's a loose clamp, or a split boot ( if that's possible ) ??

 

you got it. . .just follow the turbo outlet going twards the intercooler. . .there will be two of em there. and the same on the other side. wouldnt hurt to pull them off and get a good look at them. EGT, boost, tranny temp, and other gages will tell alot about how an engine is running.
