I found out about a guy in Redding Ca at Roverhybrids.com, seems he is in the process of becoming an official DFA installer. At $400 bucks cheaper than my current installer guy (who claims PSD experiance) this guy has PSD conversions on his website, I think it might be worth the 3hr trip up to Redding... I finished (sort of) the gauge piller install today... Found out that my autometer trans temp gauge did not come with a sending unit (only after I started the install). Here is a question for you Excursion 7.3l people out there: I installed my boost gauge today (had to drill and tap) just after the turbo, on the y-pipe heading to the intercooler (passenger side of the "y"). I thought I had done something wrong, as when I started the truck--- nothing happened! (truck started, but no gauge reading). Not having time to mess with it, I left to run my errands... I found out that @ 2000 rpm I am getting about 5psi boost. This has to be wrong...right? My turbo sounds fine, I get the power I am supposed to get(?), did I do something wrong with the gauge install? I checked and doublechecked, no kinks, leaks, or anything else that would cause this to go funny. Now when I steped on it, it went all the way to 25psi...just for a second. I have the TM wastegate controller, just haven't installed it yet. Whats up with this?
