Default THINK MY CARS BROKE!!!

i installed my new boost gauge that reads up to 60 psi, and i installed stage 1 in my car with a stage 2 wga today. i took my car for a drive after adjusting the wga, my car was spiking 40 psi and holding 27psi. It felt really powerful, but as i was driving down the road, i saw white smoke coming from the exhaust. i got home and herd my car sounding like a diesiel on its last leg. i think i have a HEMI... Is this normal for my mods? i am really impressed with the results, but dont think its right..... is this ok???

um yea....the turbo isn't capable of spiking 40psi and holding 27psi. so either you're a troll or you have a broken boost gauge.

those amounts of boost arent anywhere near within the limits of the stock turbo. as for the smoke, i dunno did you adjust the wga when you innstalled it? without a properly functioning boost gauge its really hard to say what your spiking/holding. also, did you happen to throw a wideband on? its possible your frying your motor

With the high potential for BS in this section, I make it a habit to check a member's profile and posting history before I respond to a post from someone who's not a "regular" here....we've had some BIG TIME bs'ers here before......."Andy" was the one that drove me nuts with his 9 second SRT-4.........
