    Installed a Boost Gage...

    I bought the car used, and I was wondering if maybe there was a performance part installed that could do this. It is still under waranty and I don't want to mess that up. The boost gage is a ractive mechanical, I am getting boost from the cold pipe. Thanks for any input! Dave

    Installed a Boost Gage...

    I am getting the same boost in 1st and 2nd gear that I do in the rest. It's 16-17 pounds and it is consistent??? I thought there was serious boost cut in 1st and 2nd in these cars? Anyone else out there experiencing this? Dave
