I wouldn't run over 8 pounds on that engine, just because I don't know what it can take.
Boost gauges tap into the intake side. It's a either an electrical sender of a vacuum line, easy as pie.
Electronic boost controllers are much more presise, and programable. Not to mention about $400 more expensive.
The car is going to be tons of fun with a turbo not to mension quick :chuckles: . The manifolds are perfect, but I think the only problem I am going to have is space for everything. I think to begin with I will go with the manual boost contoller and 7 PSI or maybe even 6 just to be safe. Thanks for the help I will keep you all updated.
