I have my boost gauge ran off my vacuum hose that goes the the fpr. Been fine on mine like that for the past 3 years.

im thinking its in the wiring. something i probably did. it wasnt installed by him so i cant fault him for that.

Haha, Tom got owned by his car already.

How did you get back in? Pop out your sunroof?

If you just remove the door lock cylinders, and bring them to a lock smith along with the key that works in the ignition, they can adjust them so that they work together. That's what I did when someone stole 1 set of keys from me. I bought a new ignition cylinder that came with new keys, then I just popped the door locks and trunk lock out, brought em in, and it was maybe like $8 per cylinder for them to adjust.

Nice. there is a lock smith near me at ace hardware. ill do that.

I figured out most of the issues.
The HIDs were plugged in backwards. so now they work and are adjusted. i love watching them come on. yay.
The vac leak was on the turbo, the inside bolt on the j pipe wasnt all the way tightened. so i put a new bolt in there and used silicone on all of the couplers to make sure the seal is good.
Also put in a new bolt in the throttle body, one of them was too short.
Im sure the boost gauge is just the signal wire, will be looking at that in a moment.

Im going to put the power steering pump back in as soon as i find a full setup for sale. No power steering sucks ass for a wimp like me. lol

[tehehodi]

Whats with you plugging in things wrong? lol

I fail i fail i fail. ok are you happy dammit.

Boost gauge fixed - Check (ground wire on the sender wasnt hooked up)
Door locks fixed - Check (The key was correct, but the locks were soo gunked up and corroded that they wouldnt turn)
Boost/vac leaks fixed - Check (Main leak was on the J pipe, but used silicone RTV on all couplers to make sure no other leaks were present)
HIDs fixed - Check (plug was reversed)
Crossmember installed - Check (Forgot to install the drivers side one so i did that tonight, car didnt come with a passenger side one, but oh well)

Still need:
Power steering!
Windshield
More break in miles
A good wash
New paint job.
Emergency brake! (car tends to roll down the driveway if i just keep it in gear where i need to actually put a peice of wood behind the wheel.)
