I check all that connections and none loose. I jump start it and it turn on, then drive for like 2 min then start loosing power, all lights went off, still driveable but light got dimmer and slowwly loose all power. Could it be alternator? My car work fine before installing boost and AF gauge. Any ideas? Shall i took off thsoe gauges?

Sounds like the alternator or a serious grounding problem. Check your battery terminals for solid connections - not just tight, but clear of any debris that could be between contacts.

Usually the battery will not die that quickly from a failing alternator, but if it was already weak then that's likely it. Don't forget to check the belts before ripping everything apart.

*SLAP* No! Bad, tsi009! No bumping! Go to your room! You better delete that before a moderator catches it.

Have the battery and alternator tested at Autozone.

Oh, btw, if you're looking for a cost effective wideband setup to go with your flashy dial, HiRev has a decent PLX setup that will translate the output so the gage can read it. It's still $150, but it's a lot less than most.

PLX SM-AFR Without Display

EDIT: Oh, and it comes with the sensor, I asked.
