There's been no tests of that manifold yet. It may not do a damn thing. Hell, there's no pictures of it yet, just renders. I'd wait on that one.

I don't believe you need to tap the IM twice with the SCG-1

Chuck33079 · 02-21-2016, 09:15 AM

Why would you do it any different than the rest of the world? Otherwise the gauge would just sit at zero. I guess you could do that? But tapping the im and doing it the normal way is easy.

Plus, with all the new piping, vacuum leaks are a real possibility. How would you know if your boost gauge was only plumbed in to see positive pressure?

TcRocket · 02-21-2016, 09:28 AM

I guess I really have no desire to see how much vacum I'm making. And if I were to have a vacum leak it would barely Bo noticeable however upon boost it'd leak like a bitch. So I really don't see the reference there. I'm only trying to keep a healthy engine based upon boost pressure not vacum. The boost controller controlling the waste gates will only see positive pressure so why should the gauge controlling the solenoid need to ever see negative pressure. I'd rather see a gauge at zero instead of jumping all over in the negatives. If I don't see a number above approximately 3k then I know I have a line leak issue. Just my .02

Do it however you want, but there's a reason everyone else who installs a boost gauge does it that way. And doing it the right way takes no additional effort since tapping the Im takes minutes.

Just the way I seen Sasha state was that only the bov needed to ever see negative pressure. I've yet to install my turbo so I'm always open to advice.....

. Just saying how I was looking at it wrong or not and if I am I want to know the right....

What's the reason?

Side note..........anyone going to Z days this year. Never been plan on going

You want to see how much vacuum you make, trust me. On my old big turbo Audi A4 I would see boost fluctuations with weather conditions, the only way to see if you have a leak is by looking at vacuum measurements which shouldn't vary. Also, having a vacuum leak is a huge deal - do you want unfiltered air being sucked into your engine?

Especially for 2k, that's outrageous

Given that the kit can exceed the limits of the stock block as it ships, a new IM is overkill until you build the motor. It is pretty though.

It is overkill I know. However boosted will just never be enough...... I see I built block in the next couple years

There are many benefits to knowing where your vacuum is at.

Clutch and flywheel ordered today. After talking with Joe at zspeed went with southbend stage 3 daily driver with quiet disc, HD csc, 19 lb steel southbend billet flywheel and new cmm.
