May need help installing the WGA

[TheDirtyGoatee]

So anyone care to tell me where to place a boost controller at? I got me a gauge (I'll install it when I have more time) but it works. Now I just need to now where to put a controller. My buddy wants to show me my car with a little more boost in it. Hopefully we won't be putting too much into it. Or I'll get take the zoom zoom to the once said zboom!

Oh this should be good....

just out of curiousity, how much boost is your friend running?

you can put the controller anywhere i think, but you may want to talk to scott or korey before going too boost happy

Maybe talk to Jacques as well.

you running stock exhaust, intake, ect right? take the boost controller and place lightly in the garbage. I am even more assuming this is a manual boost controller in which case thats a huge no no without the supporting mods

Well you'll all be happy to know...

It was a manual boost controller. We took the little thing the is attached to the radiator and the intake tube (can't recall the name of it) and placed the boost controller right in that area between the hose coming from the WGA and the one going into the intake mani. We turned it all the way down and it was making little boost. We adjusted it properly and got it up to 8 psi and that's when I stopped.

Here is why. For some reason, my car is making only 5psi naturally with the WGA I got. It's SUPPOSED to be 6-7psi. So I was curious where my extra 1 psi went. In either case, I only drove it up his street once with 8psi on.

Here is my next question. I want to install my boost gauge. I think I am going to put it just left of the hump made from the gauge cluster, the area between the wheel and the A-pillar. Anythoughts? If anyone has any ideas let me know. I will also need a gauge pod of some sort if anyone has one lying around?

just be very careful with boost spikes and such with that MBC. Check with scott he may have an a-pillar pod

an a-pillar pod

I'm much more partial to DIN mounted gauges. Much more slick.

ooooo...teriyaki

You connected the radiator to the intake!? WTF are you talking about?

ooooo...teriyaki

(rofl2) nice

 

[TheDirtyGoatee]

Ok, it wasn't the radiator, it looks like a very stock looking BOV. It's small, it runs from the intake tube to something.... maybe not the radiator. I believe it's the failsafe if the WGA doesn't work. In either case, we didn't connect them, we capped them off. In either case, it worked whatever it was. My buddy said he wouldn't do anything to my car that he thought would blow it up because he doesn't have the money to buy it. (He said if he ever blew it up, he'd pay for it.) So, he says connect the tube, I connect the tube.

Hey Mike, what were you saying about DIN? What does that stand for?

 

[autoxes]

DIN is in reference to the stereo pocket area, the stock radio takes up 1 din space, you can get gauge pods that mount in the other, in place of the CD pocket.

Step 1 to working cars: If you don't know what it is, don't **** with it.

its called engine coolant injection, its about 7 times better than water/meth injection

Holy s***, Will with the BURN! I think the days of going easy on William may be over if he keeps it up

 

[TheDirtyGoatee]

The only thing I can say is I can easily (and often times) admit when I don't what the **** something is. So, I trust what some people say. Sorry for being a dumbass when it comes to a car I've owned for less than a year.

Thats your stock BPV that relieves your turbo presure go and put that back on ASAP before you destroy your turbo and never let your friend touch your car again.

and a gauge pod is not rice...when checking over your gauges do you want to me staring into the dash or on the a pillar where you still have site of the road?

I was making a joking reference to a kid that I went to highschool with that had about 17 gauges in his automatic civic with an autozone exhaust and turbo whistler tip.

Unless anyone here knows that kid, we're not going to get it.
