Kinda stupid gauge question and a j/s question

DoctorNick · 04-15-2002, 12:06 AM

Alright. well am slowly making steps moving to AFI. I got the turbo, turbo back exaust is almost there, fuel, knock and engine management is in route to my home. But I figgured Mabye I should start installing parts as they get here. Well I got my EGT, Tranny temp (auto) and Boost gagues. I was thinking why not install my Tranny temp and boost right now...well the question is...Can I install boost at the N/A status? I know the gague does read vacume...but is it possible?

Also does anyone know when the j/s 2's are shipping for preorder people...I was told "I am on top of the list" because I orderd two and prepaid for them a long time ago. I have yet to get in contact with him. I called a few times and got busy..so I don't know. Has anyone recieved them?

yes you cna instlal it. all it does is read the the pressure in the manifold, so there is no problem. when you go WOT itll just hit 0.

you would either have to connect the J/S to either a vacum line (not sure if it has one on the "ultra" unit) or wire it in to a boost controler.
