what a difference...

Temporarily hooked up a boost gauge last week after Turkey Day and noticed a boost leak...found the leak; fixed it; finished the gauges installation last night.

Took her out for a drive today, ambient temperature was around 50*; seeing 10-8-10 boost pattern consistently...(actually 10.5 - 11 psi)

The 7 is pretty damm quick with just intakes and dp for mods.

All this time I thought the car was in perfect running condition...I guess wrong. Without the boost gauge...I would still driving a leaky TT RX7.

GET ONE...if you haven't already.

Thanks for all posts related to gauge installation. Attached are some pictures of boost and water temp installation.

Thanks.

lol....I remember the same thing happened to me, back in 2000 when I bought my FD. I had a broken coupler off the Y-pipe that was leaking boost big time, and when I fixed that I was like WHOOOAAAAAA!
And then immediately posted on the forum....

Kudos to you for getting her fixed up right!
