What I don't understand is why 14.7 is yellow instead of green?
The colors must relate to good, okay and danger while in boost, not when cruizing or at idle, yeah?
I haven't checke to see EXACTLY when it goes from green to yellow, but I think it's mid 13s.

i agree with that

And -that-, ladies and gentlemen is why I have my own mechanic for poop like that. :D

When watch your mechanic taking the pan off, lol you'll be smiling and realize how smart you are lol.. how did you guys remove the pan? rubber mallet was used on mine..

Ok so not much concern on the cruising or idle afrs then, its the boost afrs that matters.. yeah I noticed that color too its helpful.. what bothers me about digital gauges is that they constanly move lol makes me paranoid and dizzy the first time.

and that is why i coudlnt stand the idea of getting all 3 AEM gauges. 1 wideband 02 from AEM is enough for me. lol

it would drive me nuts to have 3

tru boost has been good for me... only thing i dont like is that most times it reads 7.9 -8.9 so 8 psi. but some times its like 8.5, 7.5, 8.9 almost 9.. i have my alarms set to 9 so my boost will cut off just incase my ____ spike bad or something but i havent hit 9 yet almost just not quite, thats my only gripe..

well if you just go off wastegate pressure it will be really consistant. but once you use the tru boost you can only be so acurate with electronic boost gauges..

haha if thats the case and you dont need the boost controller they do sell just a boost gauge that matches and is cheaper. if you would be interested in just a boost gauges and get a better boost controller or a manual boost controller later.
