I wanna check my #'s to see if there right, im getting a lil hesitation sometimes just after 6000 RPM's......I installed a autometer boost gauge, theres a pic to see if i installed it in the right spot.
My Idle is at 900 and boost is at 4psi... heres a movie from dead stop, 1st gear, 2nd gear & most of 3rd....

oh also only mod is racing beat cat-back

 

what are you looking to hear?
looks like it's at 4 pounds to me...

 

is the right for the stock T2

 

Stock boost is 5-6lb (the gauge can be off 1lb either way). With an exhaust mod, you usually see at least 1 psi extra boost. With a full straight exhaust you'll often see 10+. Something is amiss there, if the gauge is accurate and the hose is plumbed in tight at both ends.

 

did you service you car? change spark plugs, oil and such?

 

the pluming is Tight, not sure its in the right place...thats why i posted the pic....

 

no i have not serviced it im planming on doing that tom, as well as check compression.

 

you'll probably see that after changing the plugs it won't hesitate after 6k...unless there's something up with you car. now i don't know why you're getting lower psi than a stock 87 t2 should be getting but yeah like rotaryres said a turbo back should increase the psi by 1 -2. so you should be boosting like 6-7 psi not 4.

 

I didnt think it was right.....again any one know if i T'ed the boost gauge into the right spot??? and what could be wrong????

 

Does the vacuum hose go straight into the intake manifold?
I would "flip" the T so the stock boost sensor sees the "branch".

Yes it goes straight to the intake manifold, I fliped the "T" and there was no change

 

get your injectors cleaned

 

Should I try running injector cleaner temp. till I can get them cleaned????

 

.

 

any other ideas of why I only got 4 PSI boost???

 

any other ideas of why i only got 4 PSI BOOST???

 

ok did compression test, front 115 PSI, rear 110 PSI. from my understanding thats good. any other suggestion if 4 PSI boost ok???

 

what about a cloged cat ?

 

I repeat:

If you're getting less boost you have an intake or exhaust restriction, or there is a problem with the turbo or the wastegate.

 

Right on. It could be the pre cat or the cat. Time for a DP

 

cloged cat could be possible, could i Gut the cat's temp. till i have money for a full exhaust??? I have a racing beat cat-back, if i gut the cats will i need a FCD???

 

If i gut the cats will i need a FCD???

 

Probably, with a straight through exhaust you also need to port your wastegate, especialy if you have a aftermarket intake.

If you are trying to keep cost down Creeping Death FCD is $30 http://mysite.verizon.net/res1f3en/id5.html

A Rtek chip would be better

 

If you gut the cat's you *shouldn't* need an FCD, as the stock exhaust is still quite restrictive. Did you fix your 6k hesitation?
