Aem tru-boost installed

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

Man I haven't seen a club in years! Gauge and location looks great though.
