I dont like the fit, or the way its mounted, velcro just isnt right, I'll be going a different route in the next week or two.
boost seems 1- 3 psi less post intercooler, until your over 50% throttle, then its pretty close to the same, I didnt do any WOT runs, so I dont know for sure yet.
These pics are pretty much normal in town driving, the gauge on the left with the red needle is the pre-intercooler gauge and the white needle on the right is post intercooler.
So, which gauge do we tune to now

That's interesting, I wouldn't have thought it to be that much...thanks. And tuning to post intercooler would would be more accurate, no?
Thanks for the info, Larry
BTW you are not fooling me with that water bottle in the truck.....I know you better than that

Very Cool Larry!! Thanks!!
Are both these gauges mechanical?
The reason I ask is this-could you swap your gauges around to confirm the readings are accurate? What I mean is could one gauge not read as accurate as the other at low boost pressures? Not that I am saying they are not, when I see differences, I like to eliminate my equipment as being the source of the difference. It's probably just me though......

Already done switched them around, they are both Isspro 60psi mechanical gauges. I's switching to 2 Autometer Cobalts though to match my Drive Pressure gauge. There is a difference in the readings based on where you plumb them in, but it seems the closer you get to 100% throttle, the closer the gauges read to each other, meaning normal driving more boost is read pre-intercooler, but the more you have your foot in the throttle, the closer these guages read to each other............not sure why this is
Get on it already Larry!
I will, the wifey was with me all weekend and she yells at me when I play around, so I took it easy :baby: It has something to do with me acting my age
:rofl: You know I was just razzing a little more! :hug:I will, the wifey was with me all weekend and she yells at me when I play around, so I took it easy :baby: It has something to do with me acting my age
My wife wont even ride with me in my truck anymore unless she absolutely has to. Then its just the same as yours.... :blah: They put those "Oh S***" handles there for a reason, and I like to see them used dammit!

Yea, but then put mine behind the wheel of her car and she gets an instant case of road rage, shoots people the bird, etc.........but let me even hint at sooting somebody and i'm a kid, go figure
Is it really simple with the superdiesel manifold ? I do not for see any warranty problems, could be switched back anyway ?

super easy. undo two bolts, slide factory tube off, spray hairspray and slide the new one back on, tighten two bolts. Gives a clean look also
