The gauges are switchable between *F and *C (with max/min memory and peak hold too!). I have trained myself to think in *C.

Earth to Andy! That's not what I asked. They require a HOLE in a rubber boot for placement, as you suggest that you've done. How do you seal it sufficient to not lose pressure? . And, do you have an extra set for temp probing? I wouldn't like to lose my precious boost!

There are huge holes in both ends of each rubber boot.

Luckily, there is some metal that snugly plugs those holes, just like the metal temp probes snugly plugging the temp probe holes. Don't worry about it, I checked and it's not leaking boost.

Nope, not yet. I did a bit of testing and am crunching the data to send to Jeff, but haven't done the full-blown comparison yet.

I can appreciate providing the data to Alta FIRST and that they be given ample time to analize, digest, ect .... BUT at the same time I atleast expected that you would post an independent report of your findings.

I hope this doesn't end up as the CAI shootout!

Totally agree, announcing the test without plans to post the info is a bit annoying........that being said, I am the pot calling the kettle black because I did not post the dynos on Randy's exhaust...... it was hard for me to contain my enthusiasm....... note to Alta, there are several of us who would like to see the data..... note to Andy, thanks for doing the test and your efforts to "keep it real."

SpideyX,

While you didn't post dyno data, you did share your testing experience, including videos. I can appreciate that the exhaust (and the IC) are Beta models - and data produced may result in the production of a varied end product. So I think it only fair that Randy or Alta get the data first however if a vendor is going to use a Board for R/D, then that data also belongs to the Board. If a vendor doesn't agree with this statement then its simple - leave the board out of it.

Vendors go this route for several reasons - beginings of product marketing, direct consumer input and testing validity (which equals credibility).

I think at some point, you should share your dyno findings but only after Randy has had a reasonable time to make the most out of the data. I think this is important to discuss with the vendor beforehand. The same holds true for Andy in my opinion.

anyway - happy holidays.

Feel free to call with questions, or comments.
Jeff made these comments in the first post of the thread. I think it's only fair to give him some time to live up to his comments. I respect Andy for allowing Jeff the 'breathing room' to post the results in a timely manner.
