You are going to need a boost gauge before you install the wga. You need to know what you are boosting to be safe. You can install wga on it's own. Set it at 13 psi. Without a bc you will have PTB, actually bad PTB. I installed a dual stage bc on my '03 GT along with the AGP wga. I had the 1st stage of the bc set at 15 psi. No PTB in any gear. The 2nd stage of the bc was set at 18 psi. Bad PTB in the first couple of gears (5 speed). No PTB from 3rd gear on. The trick was to use the 1st stage of the bc for 1st and 2nd gears so there was no PTB. When I hit 3rd gear I flipped the switch to the 2nd stage of the bc. Then it was hang on to your hat, Martha. My wife (not named Martha) called the bc switch the "evil switch" and I had to tell her before I used it so I didn't snap her neck off. [|)]

I could drive in 1st and 2nd gears on the 2nd stage of the bc, but I had to go easy in 1st and 2nd gears to avoid PTB until I hit 3rd gear. Then it was punch it and go. The GT was a blast to drive. [?]
