LAStang's Build Thread.......FINALLY!!

[Taxman]

Mine just measures boost. Starts at zero.

I'm right between 20-22 in/hg at idle. I like the cobalt series of gauges, I have the same ones, they look good.

This is a good reference. Most of the guys on this thread are in the same area.

My car read about 12hg before I left lol. I think I have a leak though, but I was running a shitty tune, so we will see. Gauge read 20-22hg at idle before I put turbo on.

Mine reads right about 20 sitting still. A friends cobra read 15 and we found a leak and after we fixed it, it finally started reading above 20 so I'd check and make sure there's no leak

^where would one start to look for a leak?
Would the car idle right with a vacuum leak?

Update....Went to a local car show and the car runs good, no codes. I got my BAP in from BruceH and will be working on it tomorrow to fix my fuel issues. Didn't win today thanks to S281 Saleen and two GT500's those bastards! LOL

Alright did some work this morning as you can see! Over axle pipes, adj. panhard bar and panhard support brace!

You can see why I was changing the axle pipes..from the first owner I might add!

Also put the BAP in this morning before all of this and now the car runs great! I bought the upgraded wiring kit from Jeremy so that should be here next week, but I couldn't wait to hook it up! Definitely a happy camper right now!

I hate it when somebody comes to a car show with an unmodified specialty vehicle and wins. I went to a show a few months ago that had so many stock Roush and Shelby cars that I thought I was at a car dealership.
