thanx for the reply, i got one more question....
when i removed my head i noticed the metal line coming from my wastegate going up over motor between valve covers has a large hole in it.. i cant tell if the previous owner did that on porpuse or if it got rubbed thru, is that a problem and if so where can i get another line? i thought about just cuting it and putin a rubber hose there to connect it but its rite next to the manifold, thought the head mite melt it... any suggestions?:humm:

you will lose boost through that tube if it is cut. that is what opens the wastegate.

maybe ill just put a rubber line over the hole in the line:humm:

My Autometer boost didn't come with it either.

It's also been on there for 80K and still working fine and completely silent. That said, I wonder if Dave was talking about electric gauges? I know my electric fuel pressure gauge makes a racket, boost pressure might be the same deal.
