Its a brand nee automster gauge. Also I just did a booat leak down test and found 9 holes in my intercooler and waste gate stuck shut. So I believe thats my problem. Also turbo exhaust housing cracked in 4 places.

yeah ... time for an over haul .... at least on the boost side ... hey a new/ re-man HX35W on ebay is bout 350 ... and a 3pc mainfold if you dont have one is about 369 and then a 5" exhaust 369 .... new CAC ... probably about the same ... unless you know a real good welder who wants to pull his hair out trying to patch it up ....

Well I pulled the turbo again and the bearings went in it. The turbo fins touched the housing so I have a rebuild kit and compressor wheel on the way 70 bucks total. I already have a 5" straight pipe but the piece manifold Im going to look into.
