It is nice to finally see how much boost I am not getting. Maybe 9psi at WOT if the gauge is accurate.

The car is basically stock so I have not yet had the opportunity to cause leaks, but 9 does not surprise me. Is 11psi stock?

Depends on who you get it from. Prices vary widely. $250.00 from Morristown. Even more overpriced at most other places.

Better pic at Turner Motorsport: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/imag...age_pod_lg.jpg

This looks good on the car, as if it should have been there all along. The orange LEDs make the gauges a little dimmer than the others when the lights are on, but they are properly lit and a good match.

Also, unlike this and just about every other pic, the gauges can be properly oriented to sit level. I kept a rubber jar lid grip in the car for about a week to twist the gauges at their bezels until neither seemed askew to me.

Does anyone know if the boost gauge is even accurate? What is the max boost level being seen for supercharger with a stock pulley?
