Dont worry some people here forget the whole purpose of a discussion board.You know a lot of them were born with knowledge about turbos and swaps

Dont go spouting things like that. If you could see the number of people that came on here wanting to go turbo with no research being done, you would feel the same way. Do a search.

Or go post on clubgp and see how bad you get torn up.

Hello isn't what this thread is? A step of research?

I really wish people would stay away from comments like that because asking questions is research. Boards like this one started just for this purpose. Not as a social networking/myspace deal.

Well thats why we come here instead of clubGP hoping people can help us with the question instead of saying you need more research.What do you think hes doing?How can a person research anything if all what people say is u need more research.

I agree, this is the perfect forum for people to come and ask questions like this. A new member or individual who may be new to forums in general wouldn't think to search all the posts in an effective way right from the get-go.

That being said, if we were to have answered his questions and suggested that he spend some time searching and reading the archives because there is a lot of good info out there, I think it would have been a bit more helpful.

So go forth my child, and search the forums for this info you seek! If you seek, you shall find! (especially in the turbo section on clubGP.)

As far as brand of gauges? Anything will do really.

A lot of parts stores carry Autometer gauges, which are the brand I use, and they work well enough. It's kind of like buying band-aids. There may be different brands but they all do the same thing just as well as the next.

The one thing you way want to decide on is the type of oil pressure gauge. I really like mechanical oil gauges because they respond in real time exactly how the engine is. It feels more accurate. Electrical gauges refresh certain times per second, so they don't always have the exact data at the exact second.

However, mechanical gauges require running HIGH PRESSURE OIL INTO THE CABIN!!!! This is the *only* reason I gave up my mechanical gauge for an electrical one.

Nylon tubing and brass ferrels don't exactly do the job with 60+ psi of oil pressure and if you tightened something wrong, you could have a slow leak, or be shooting 60 psi worth of oil into the ground, or worse, your face/cabin.

For a boost gauge, just go mechanical. I'm not even sure they make electrical boost gauges. Make sure it's a vacuum/boost gauge so you can read it both ways. Also make sure it's hooked up to the right spot...

And then just the aeroforce interceptor gauge.
