    3-Guage Pod Install Wiring Questions

    Hey all I recently picked up a 3-gauge pillar and know how to hook everything up. I am wondering where to tap into for the lights to turn on/off with the parking lights without splicing into a million wires. I want the install to remain clean. Also is it a bad idea to place all 3 ground wires...

    power loss/loud sucking noise... help???

    You can heat the bitches up with a blow drier or heat gun as previously stated. You can also drive around for a while until they get warm. There really is not an easy way to get them off. When I had to replace the cold pipe I busted out the dremel with the cutting wheel (freak)

    power loss/loud sucking noise... help???

    I highly doubt it, they are trash and prone to failure. Almost everyone I have talked to with a MSP has had the WGA go bad.

    power loss/loud sucking noise... help???

    Rick are you ever going to listen to me and do a Boost leak test? Why are you gonna spend 100+ dollars and get a BPV when the issues you are having are most like a boost leak compared to anything else.

    power loss/loud sucking noise... help???

    This is the WGA it should the the only vac line coming off of it. This line should lead to a T with the other end going to the BPV and the source off of the intake mani.

    Silver if you can blow into the actuator line it is bad. Your vacuum is terrible, normal idle should be 20-22hg Stock boost should be around 5-6.5psi 8 is too high Firstly replace your WGA that should take care of that maybe not completely because(vac leaks can cause boost leaks and vice versa...
