the offtopicness is strong in this thread

alrighty ill check out autometer then but thanks

The ones I usually do are cut to replace the CD pocket below or above the radio and are stainless steel panels... Autometer I believe carries/makes one for on top of any steering column... there are a lot of options out there overall. but I don't do fiberglass, CF, or plastic parts yet.

Stewart Warner makes some that are comparably priced to the Autometer and IMHO look nicer.

Yep, a lot of people use them. They aren't too bad from what i know. they don't have much for apperance options.. and they don't match the interiors of the Protege's.... so that's the downside there.

But we really should get back on topic..

I still vote for the AFC for his 200+ bucks over other things.

How do they not match the interior? I think they look nice.

Sorry was thinking MSP... then you need the silver faced Autometer Ultra-Lites which match pretty well.

I have nothing against Stewart Warner gauges other than I dont' think I have a supplier that can get them for me LOL.

Thanks for you suggestions. With my current mods, what is the most pounds of boost should I run?

 

[vxfilmer1000]

Gut your cats and take off your resanators(if there not already off) or just save it...........

zero psi. but really, leave your boost alone until you have atleast a downpipe.

 

[TurfBurn]

regardless of mods... with stock internals I wouldn't push higher than 9 psi ever.

 

[akeem1003]

Settling at 9psi or spiking at 9psi because we all know that the MSP doesn't cooperate with boost the way we want it to.

 

[1moreMPH]

from all ive read 9-10 psi is all i'd do, im sure a very quick spike a little over that wouldn't hurt, but no higher than that. i'd put a vote in for some gutted/new cats, or the dp for a little more, or the AFC for a little more. the AFC will probably have you drooling to drive your car, that'd prolly make the most change for the better. faster and smoother.

 

[TurfBurn]

small spikes are liveable... but running a "held" boost of 9 or 10 is about the limit.

I still support the AFC for most bang and improvement for the money listed.
