I finally got around to taking pictures of it today......and resized them small enough to load.......................its not perfect....but it has no rust and no bondo.......

Showing about 120,000 on the odometer....................

Those are autometer "Z" series......Boost EGT and Voltmeter from left to right.

If I had dome more than just think about it last year I could have bought VDO guages before they got bought out and dissappeared.

ooOOOOo you put a pyrometer in?
Where did you put your probe?
I just did mine and took pictures and am planning on making a DIY page on installing pyrometer, block heater, and boost gauge (did all three at the same time).
Pre-turbo or post?
Thanks!

I did mine post turbo.....I didn't want to buy another set of gaskets to pull the turbo to drill and tap the manifold. I just put new gaskets on it just a couple months ago. its midway on the thick part of the pipe near the headpipe mount.

Boost is plumbed into the blank plug on the front of the intake manifold...

I get 10 PSI boost........will put the boost controller on it when I get hoses to bring it up to spec....

EGT...........have a fuel delivery issue (may be air leak under heavy load only...and have not had it on highway since guages were installed....only got a 800 degree egt max accelerating around town.

We could very easily give the forum members information comparing pre and post turbo results. Our engines are similar enough that some "nearby" equations could be formed.
Let me know when you get your goods installed. The boost controller is a nice thing I have...mine seemed to like it a bit..ALDA adjust and you are in buisness.

Well I am seriously pissed at Rusty @ *************** right now......been 3 weeks now trying to get an RNA for a Voltage regulater that arrived with broken brush.....and a MIA primary filter mount........and I only called 4 times already......

Fast lane is getting a call and an order tomorrow. For all the crush washers on the fuel fittings (all of them) and a filter mount.....

Alda is tweaked but I have the fuel delivery issue and thats keeping it from its potiential
