1G boost controller/boost gauge?

what is a boost contrtoller and what does it do, how much could i get one for?

you have a GST.

and to get back to answering your question a boost gauge measures the boost the turbo is building. You mentioned having one in your dash... and i dont know if you've heard this already but dont ever even think about reading that gauge... its totally wrong. The only way to know how much boost you are running (in psi) is to get an aftermarket gauge. There are tons of brands out there but I would recommend an Autometer. Cheap and easy to install. I think summitracing.com has them for under $50.

g'luck!

depends on if you trust yourself or not. If you don't, just go buy one, they are only like $45 bucks anyway.

well, my car does have a turbo, it puts out 13 lbs of boost, so dont tell me it doesnt, the guy i bought it from bought it new, with the turbo in it, then got a new motor with another turbo in it.

 

[clipseman]

well, ok, thanks for someone clearing up that a GS can have a damn turbo. and thanks for the info, i appreciate it

Earlier you had in your information that you had an Eclipse GS. That is a nonturbo car. I see you have since changed that but this is why everyone thinks your car is N/T.

I'm glad you said that-- I thought I was hallucinating.

 

[clipseman]

sorry, not so knowledgeable when it comes to mits, i just like the car. i thought gs meant it had a turb, but gst means it does.

 

[SetH]

No problem. BTW, is it a GST or GSX? (FWD vs. AWD)

 

[clipseman]

it is a FWD, i wish it was a gsx, that would kick major ass.
