Aem tru-boost installed

GOT THE AEM TRU-BOOST YESTERDAY AND INSTALLED IT TODAY. INSTALLATION WASNT TOO HARD BUT STILL WORKING ON THE SETTINGS. IM OVER BOOSTING AND TRYING TO SET IT LOWER. I JUST HAVE TO KEEP PLAYING WITH IT AND JUST START AT THE LOWEST BOOST SETTING. ITS TOO DARK TO PLAY WITH IT NOW, SO ILL MESS WITH IT TOMORROW. SORRY FOR IT BEING A BIT DIRTY, DIDNT HAVE TIME TO WIPE IT DOWN MUCH. HERE ARE SOME PIX...

I like the mounting location, I might put my UEGO there. The silver bezel looks great with the OEM gauge cluster.

I was a little disappointed when I installed mine, I thought the leds would be like they are in every ad I've seen where they light up all the way around, not just one at a time (it would be easier to read at a glance if they all lit up). Also, I think it should have better control over boost, as you say you're over-boosting. It would be nice if it was closed loop and tried to maintain the same boost every time.

the led's don't light up like this:

someone on another forum told me there was a way to change the lighting to get all of them to light up all the way. i was disappointed myself. im overboosting cuz mine isnt setup right yet. im going to try setting it at %58 duty cycle and 13 spring pressure. i saw some other guys using that setup.

and for my club, makes me sleep better at night
