FINALLY got gauges
I finally got a Fuel Pressure Gauge and a Pyrometer. I put the FP sending unit where the test port is on the VP 44, and it reads about 12-14 Idle, and 8-9 WOT. I put the Thermocouple for the Pyro post turbocharger, about a half inch behind it.. I know it's better to put it pre-turbo, but I didn't have a whole lot of time, and I don't pull a lot so I'm not real worried about it getting real hot, but it reads about 600-700 driving down the highway at 65, and it levels off about 325 if I let it sit and idle after driving...do all these numbers sound about right?
Thanks,
Rat
