You mean you're looking at buying a boost controller, and you don't have a boost gauge in yet?
Oh boy...
What have you done to your MSP today?

Don't compare your boost to basically any other boosted vehicle out there. Its just depressing.

Dont compare any other car to a MSP, the MSP is a ticking time bomb, even in stock form.

Its an enthusiast's car, you have to love it, and you have to love working on it.
Heh. also a valid point. Other than the diff popping, every problem I ever had was a result of my own tinkering.

X 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. This is the most accurate statement in the last 50 pages.
Good question.

+1 to both comments. A lot of the parts I replaced were junk, but the only time I remember the car being disabled that was not my fault is when my ignition coils took a dump. Knock on wood...

CEL: O2 sensor, motor Mounts, Mid pipe, Spark plugs/wires/ the two other things, (to much on the mind i forgot what they are called) Still think my suspention needs to be looked at as well... think there was somthing elts as well.. this is all when the car was 100% stock...

Do love the car, dont get me wrong, just sucks that its a money pit, but what car isnt.... JUst sucks to get it where i want it, its going to prob cost me as much as i paid for it, wich is the sad part.... and who knows how many yrs down the line that will take, and im impatient as well, want it done now , not tomorrow, thats why i try and get stuff thats a little cheaper and i can afford it and try and get some things... doesn t work so good....

I was just going to say that ^^. I have a prosport electronic boost gauge and it works great. Paid about $60 I think but that was probably close to 2 years ago.

I have the Premium Boost and EGT and love them.
well between this car and your 2 babies you're gonna learn to be patient. What are your plans/goals for this car exactly? you may be disappointed to find out the msp is may not meet your goals, esp with a stock bottom end.
you'll want a gauge with a lower vac reading so you can tell if you have a vac leak. at idle our cars are (someone correct me if i'm wrong) -20
