Good news - no boost problems!
Just thought I'd post some good news instead of a problem.
I've owned my FD for 6 months now and haven't bought a boost gauge yet. My excuse is I'm still waiting on that custom line from Omori.
Well, I finally broke down and got a $25 vacuum/pressure gauge from the auto parts store and tried it out. It only goes up to 10 psi but hey, atleast it's easy to read.
Idle: 18 in Hg, with lights on - 19 in Hg, with A/C - 15 in
3rd Gear: 10+psi until transition, VERY short blip down to 7 or 8 (hard to tell) and right back up to 10+. Couldn't quite run it to redline due to traffic issues. I'll try it out more tomorrow. (I believe it's hitting about 11 psi max.)
I'm happy.
