It a combo (boost/vac) gauge.

So I am assuming that while in bypass mode you get normal vacuum readings with it? IIRC from your video you get normal boost readings while in boost.

Steady numbers = Vacuum readings
Blinking numbers = Boost readings

Here is an 8.5 psi vid

After 500 miles of break-in drain the mineral based oil and replace with Royal Purple 50W (about half of a quart) and enjoy your SC.

That was the vid I was thinking of. Thanks. So your boost sensor is located on the underside of the Pettit UIM?

My car is hooked on meth and I'm its biggest supplier.

What does the eyetwitch mean when people use it?

Thanks Juan. Phil has been having issues with his boost readings so I bought him another sensor that I intend on remote locating like you have. I'll also verify the electrical integrity of his gauge system.

I guess I'm just dense but where exactly will the sensor mount?

Meth location question....

I see the Methanol hose in the photo, it looks like you are running the methanol to the vacuum/boost side of the intake.
Are you running the "extra/upgraded" solenoid to stop siphon of Methanol into the intake ?

The sensor sits just below the gauge inside the car.

I'm running a 225ml nozzle just after the throttle body and a 100ml nozzle after the SC. I'm using a T and a solenoid to prevent siphoning and it works.

Smart *** You must be taking lessons from CRH. Presently my boost sensor is mounted in the intake manifold and that's were your picture looks like it is mounted in yours. Rays post suggests another location - I'm confused.

Errr, what you saw on the picture is just the nipple/bung for the vacuum/boost hose. The actual sensor is inside the car. Phil, I think you are a bit confused about the sensor/bung location. Its OK, I get like that after staring at your avatar for a while.

See below pictures of my vacuum/boost gauge kit and closeup of the sensor (sending unit).

Whoops, now I understand - told you I must be dense, i thought it was hooked to the sensor as mine is hooked up only about 4" off the bung. Sorry I thought you were having a CRH moment with me. Yours would be several feet between the hook up and the sensor with it being inside the vehicle.

I have discussed remotely locating his sensor like you have, Juan. I don't know why he thought you were being a wiseguy. That's why I bought him another sensor.

I took him too literal and thought when he said below the gauge he was talking about me. You would do something like that and I apologized to him. Yes we did talk about a remote site but not where. Oh well back into my corner.

I read about that guy a couple months ago. The cops hassle him but it is within the confines of the law.

So there's no law against having a 16 foot flame shooting out the back of your car?
