Alpha guage install pics

Got around to fabbing up a little bracket out of acrylic to put the guages and knobs in the glove compartment. Seems to look good, now just got to get out and dial it in (hopefully tomorrow).

Looks good, nice job.

dam that looks nice! I coated the threads in blue threadlok to keep the knobs from vibrating off setting...worked great. I used the paste, not the liquid.

Damn! Just saw my dyslexia there with the "gauge" spelling! And no correcting it now, the edit button is gone...
Was just out trying to tune it, but EVERYONE is out and it is impossible to get smooth water. It does seem like I can't get it over 12 psi boost though, I turn the knob without any difference. I'm going out in a little while to try some more.

I need to take mine out to get it set up too. If you can't get anymore than 12 PSI boost, pull the hose off the Waste Gate actuator. If it still doen't go higher, check out the exhaust turbine wheel on your turbo [mine was shot].
