I bought myself a RX8 R3 09' and i have had it about a year and i bought myself a Greddy Turbo II and i know i need to get myself a blow off valve but do i really need a boast gauge? I was also curious if you could tell me how much hp i would gain and how fast it would become.

This was originally posted in the TurboXS forum. I have moved it here because he is in some serious need of help.

You're joking right?
Ok, I won't flame .... I'm having a weak moment I guess.
Technically I guess you don't need a boost gauge ... but why the hell wouldn't you?
To save a couple dollars after spending all that cash on a turbo kit?
And how fast will it become ...... I don't understand the question .....
Like quarter mile? Around the block, on a 2 mile super speedway?
