Guages and TST Power Kit-Thanks everyone for the advice!!

TST Power kit is done, wow, it runs like a new truck!!!

The KDP is tab'd! it was out about 1/8".

The gagues are installed but the only one that is completely operational is the EGT. On my first test drive it seemed to stay about 700 deg running easy and unloaded down the highway at 65, is that about right?

I had the boost hooked up to the line that came off the turbo and where I installed the new brass elbow that came in the TST kit, the one with the allen screw. It wouldn't go over about 10 PSI so I figure that is what the elbow is supposed to do, fool the waste gate. I need to find somewhere else to install it.

Does anyone make a tee that I can use to install the temp. sender where the other is so I can keep both?

Thanks,
Rick

you can hook the boost guage up right above your inj pump; there is an 1/8th in plug(allen head) in a handy spot.

you should be able to see 18psi, accelerating fairly heavily in the lower gears. if you have an exhaust and an intake, you should be getting close to 30psi with the TC locked up, if you dont blow thru it... at least, thast what im seeing with my mods.

oh and your EGT's sound right. im in the 600-700 range while cruising. i see about 4-6psi depending on grade between 50-60mph.
