xDJ DUBx's 03.5 Pure White LX-T

[neox.286]

Well, for what its worth the ProComp Ultralite also has datalogging cababilities.
I like having matching gauges too, and went all Ultralite digital gauges because the readout is red to match the gauge lighting and they have the brushed silver bezels which match the Dave Bs perfect.

but the procomp is 80 bucks more and doesnt offer anything more for the money =(

to each his own. do w/e. i dont know many people that actually use the cork one. but i know more than enough using rtv

 

[xDJ DUBx]

lol. I already returned the RTV and bought the Cork gasket, the decision has been made!!! (lol2)

So far no negative comments about the prosport except for its $10 more than the Uego. lol.

 

[neox.286]

Ive used it on five cars and ive used it on my own car several times, never had an issue once other than fitment once and it sealed fine still...its perfectly fine

I guess it depends on whether or not you put a value on aesthetics. (ooohhh...big word!) I just preferred the looks of the Ultralite, and the gauges do sit right in the middle of my dash, so it was worth the extra to me.

 

[justanothermp5]

MSP check valve? whats that do?

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Keeps the boost out of the braking system

true, I've just always steered clear of autometer gauges cause every single one I've had always was off, or eventually got off *shrugs*
the aem that I've got looks great though, and you can customize it to look different too

that's weird.. my autometer gauges are spot on..

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Gonna go with the AEM Uego when the time comes since I'll be tuning myself

Can anyone account for the prosport being inaccurate?

Well, the cf hood has been sold so I just bought a Auto Meter Phantom Vacuum/Boost Gauge, a 2.0" to 2.5" Black FMIC Coupler Adapter and a msp heat shield. This completes my online purchases for the turbo install.

Only things that are left to do: I need to get the BOV flange welded on, vac lines and oil+oil filter

I also took back the rtv today and picked up a fel pro gasket from autozone so I will not be installing the oil pan this weekend, it will be installed with the turbo. I still will be cutting up the crash bar to mount the intercooler though.

Whoooo booooossstttt!!!

[Falango]

I know a guy that is selling his wideband too. Shoot me a PM if you are interested.

I was installing the new studs and got to the last one on the turbo, the threads were messed up so I was spinning the stud with a vice grip. It got really hard then broke off so part of the stud is in the turbo.

How do I fix this stupid problem? Drill out and re-tap?

 

[Wagonbacker9]

my vote would be not do it in the first place, but your plan is good too.

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Do what? Drill? If I can get away with not having it there for a seal, forget it but if it'll cause an exhaust leak, I'm gonna try and fix it.

 

[neox.286]

which stud is it?
