I miss the old type S. I'm buying that fake type S as soon as funds are available.
how much are the fake ones? i got my real one on ebay for $175 shipped and it came on a pipe which i couldnt reuse. theres a company on ebay that sells 6 in pipes with almost any flange for $21 shipped, pretty darn good deal.
pm me the company info. and how much, I'm not sure how much the fake ones are and I'd rather have a real one.
I know where to get them(fake ones) but, on saturday I went there and they didn't have any more. They used to have like 30 of them. I didn't ask if they had more or if they could get more though, or if they just moved them.
The RS sucks when you have no cats and 3in. downpipe. The type S is so loud.

i threw out a fake type s not long ago...
should've told me..you could've had it for shipping
I mean, i wouldn't doubt if the fake ones are just about as good as the real ones. A bov really isn't that complicated...how hard could it be to fab one of already made plans.
livelyjay, congrats on the car i know that's been long-awaited. But sorry about the knee man, sucks.

its weird, i just took it out again and when i was at the stop sign it was at 20vac and when im driving and i let my foot off the gas it goes to like 23-24. when the car is turned off the needle is at 3 vac. is it supposed to be at 0? is that the problem? how much for a vac tester?
Car off: 0 vac.
Idle: 20-22 vac.
Decelerating in gear: 22-26ish vac (to answer you: yes, that's normal)
full boost SHOULD be somewhere close to 6-6.5psi, but i have heard of some getting as low as 4. Pretty sure that's not normal though.
get in third gear, about 35-40mph, put the gas on the floor. The needle should jump VERY quickly to 0vac, then pause and start building boost. If it jumps to 3vac and pauses i should think you've got an issue. There's one quick test. But it should def. be 0 vac when turned off.
If you call the company that made the gauge, i would think that they will either re-calibrate it or replace it, no questions asked. try that if you think it's off. But check the line for any bends, kinks, or leaks. I super-glued the hose connection into the T and into the guage so it was sealed 100%; and my line is hard plastic/vinyl so it can't bend very easily (no kinks).
