Sorry this took so long.....
So I'm done installing the WGA and I double check all the vacuum lines and sensors to make sure they are all connected. I pull out of my driveway and the few things I notice instantly, 1. 10-11psi of boost at part throttle so I'm thinking daaammmmnnn!!! 2. the Mopar BOV is sooooooooooo much louder 3. so is the turbo. Me likes!!! now the bad part I decided to see how much boost I can get, mistake no 1. At 4000 rpms I'm at 15psi, tip the gas pedal a little more and it's still climbing....damn thinking to myself did turboshargers.com put in a heavier spring in this thing? no they didn't. So I let off and cruise a bit thinking maybe the PCM needs to learn the new mod....now the part where I hope I didn't F up my engine [xx(] like an idiot, an idiot w/o an A/F or pyrometer gauge I decide to go WOT, mistake no 2. Bad move, boost gauge goes way past the 20 psi mark [:0] if I had to read it, I would say close to 28psi maybe 30 I kid you not, lucky it was an empty road and I was looking at the boost gauge so I let off the gas quickly. I pull over saying to myself, s**t, s**t, f**k. car sounds like it's ready to die like it's not getting enough air. Engine is still on and it's recovering but now I get a stutter at idle. Drove home nice and easy and popped the hood to check everything. I don't have smoke coming out of the exhaust, all connections intact, no fluids leaking. So I had to wait till today to call turbochargers.com. I had my vacuum line connected like stock, talked to Tommy at turbochargers and says I should use a pressure soure off the intake and not use the the line that comes from the no. 2 solenoid. So I'll check my plugs which are probably fouled and if that's all it is (hope and pray) Do you think my engine is toast? It still runs, just stutters at idle, when I accelerate easily I don't feel the engine miss. I won't give this a yay or nay until I check the engine thouroghly and if all is ok. I'll re-route my vacuum lines and do the testing on a dyno.
to answer your ? Triple, yes this is the one from turbochargers.com but I'm sure you got that from reading my adventure. price is as shown on the website $100 + $100 core deposit and $15.00 to ship to Cali.
