Chris, I'd bet that the lack of boost is because your main belt is slipping under WOT. I had that problem with the belt that came with the system. It stretches and slips. The GATES replacement fixed that and now I am making my full 8psi with the stock pulley.

Gauges Cluster from outside.

You're welcome everyone. The kit is legal everywhere EXCEPT California (as usual).

They haven't tensioned the belt yet, they told me to drive it around. I haven't pushed it that hard like I said, I haven't tried to go to 8psi.

The guage pod I ordered from Grubbs for $69 Link to Gauge Pod

There is a nice place in Central Jersey called "Turbo Trix" My friend takes his Evo VIII there and they do G35's too. Their website is www.turbotrix.com.

Here are the pictures of the Gauges at night, the last one is from outside so you can get the same point of view that the driver next to you gets before they loose the race LoL.

Sucks that it's not legal in California, damn laws, I hate this state. What's a good replacement for a vortech supercharger that'll put up the same numbers.

Yep. I didn;t know squat about FI until I, being bored at work , ventured in the forums. A few hundred hours of reading threads in my350Z and this FI forum, along with a few PM's to Neffster and...presto....Gotta have a Vortech. This message board is going to cost me a lot of money before its all said and done.
