it monitors your a/f ration, to make sure you arent going too lean. just a standard pod gauge, some of them can get pretty fancy with flashing lights... but others are just a needle that bounces around.



i think it was this one some guys on srtforums were doing a group buy on a little while back, not sure what ever came of it:

or just a basic a/f gauge

Yeah so whats an easy way to get of that half throttle boost? cause all i have is CAI, and a boost controller. and its really bad. should i just go back to no boost controller and just have some other stuff done to it instead?>

you do not want to waste your money on the mopar a/f, it's a narrowband and is nothing more than a light show.

blksrt4 - you have two options to get rid of ptb. go back to stock or get a big turbo. other than that just get used to it. you should have an aftermarketwga on there though, the stock wga isn't strong enough. you probably need to lower your boost as well.

and if i turn my boost controller all the way down. will it help with the PTB. and to go back ti stock will be alittle difficult. considering i have the aftermarket boost controller. and i had to run new lines and crap. would it just be a better idea to go back to no boost controller?

no. a properly set boost controller actually reduced ptb.

there's a vacuum line diagram on your hood, just follow that.

to properly set a wga/mbc on most cars - set the wga to about 11-12psi and increase the boost from there with the mbc.
