NEW boost control valve WOW!!!

posted by  someone claiming to be vroom on  Thu Sep 27 06:21 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Just installed a "dawes device boost controller" aka a g-valve.

I only set it to 9 psi but boy does the turbo ever spool up quickly and give a kick in the pants, reminds me of old days racing two-stroke road bikes (you guys who know about narrow power bands know what i mean). I plan on buying a solenoid operated vaccumm switch so i can switch from stock boost control (slower spool up to 7 psi) to "POWER MODE".

QUESTION? At www.dawesdevice.com/instructions.html they tell how to install a Air/Fuel meter which basically measures voltage from the O2 sensor, they suggest hooking into the O2 sensor close to the sensor, no mention of a O2 test point. Is there any reason I couldn't just hook and analog volt meter in the same config and monitor my A/F ratio?

thanks guys
