Ok so I decided to sell my car for another one. I found the one I want and I am in the process of making an add for it for ebay. I figured I would take it out one more time before I put it to rest. And I floor it on the main road here and all of a sudden no boost gauge. I know this isn't major since I can still hear boost going into my eninge. Just seems quiter. Any Ideas on how to fix this? Boost gauge needle just sits at 0 PSI https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png

Or you popped a hose coupler...

this seems kindof silly why are you getting rid of the car? All FD's are quirky like this, it's like owning a lotus, at least until you've done all the mods and simplified the car quite a bit (aftermarket engine management, single turbo, etc..) even then they are still relatively complex... compared to say a plain ole NA. Didnt you just put a new clutch in it? seems kinda fickle to me.

nobody has as bad luck me. why bother swapping one car with a problems for a car that might be even worse!

Haha...Umm First off I am not dumping the car off because of something as dumb as this!! I need an automatic for where I live. Alot of downtown stop and go driving and alot of hills. But can anyone tell me how to fix this? Is it hard?

awww, man....



stick with the manual https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png you'll get used to it. you have to find out if it's the gauge or a major intake/vacuum/boost leak.



maybe you popped an intake tube off, or vacuum line(s). Get out the vacuum diagram and follow all the lines, make sure they're all connected.

okay thanks.....Its not just because of the manaul. My car has 60,000 miles!! And alot of mods. I just need the car to get me from A to B. I would rather the car be with someone who wont put alot of miles on it and someone who can race the hell out of it!

my fd must be the only one on the planet that was not fickle, it never gave me any trouble
