Default My Westach boost/egt gage in action

I did these two vids yesterday when I left work, you can hear a little of the exhaust note since I had the windows rolled down. TST set on 4/3 as not to have my clutch slip, and doing some mileage tests.

for those curious
1/1 = 18.6
2/2 = 19.3
3/2 = 17.8 (most of that tank was blown on local smoke shows and intersection shutdowns)
4/3 still testing
on 3/2 I probably could have gotten better, but I was showin off for a friend following me in his mazda 3

the first one is me going from 2-3-4, the second is going up a little hill shifting from 4-5-6. you can see my boost gage pegging at 35# easy. I could do this under stock conditions. I was getting on it a bit


4-5-6 shifts

I'll get the 2-3-4 shifts in the morning. . .hope this works

Hey, got it to work. I guess if I beat on this thing enough it'll work. Pretty cool, only 35 psi though[sm=confused06.gif], don't have that turbo yet?

here's the other one, 2-3-4 shift

sorry about it being hard to see, I did this late last night and didnt go back to see the quality of the vid once gogle got ahold of it. I sized it to 160x120 so I could compress it for actual size for dial-up's. the vids are only 1.1megs or so in size.

with the way the boost gage reacts I would way I'm pushing more then the 35# the gage can handle. TST boost limits to 35# when that option is turned on.

I can resize it to 320x240 at a later time if ya'll want it.

I think I wasnt hammering it as much. I mix about 60-40 on the city and highway speeds.

now that I think back on it that tank I took a different route to work that is about 5 miles longer, but 10 min quicker since traffic is much lighter. The other way I go there are alot of stop lights and heavy traffic, the new way things flow and speeds average 50-55mph.
