Hey guys. I have a 08 Denali with a maggie TVS1900 and i have possibly a stupid question. I just got a Vac/boost gauge and i installed a tee in the hose that connects to the bypass valve on the charger. It seems to be working good. Will i receive accurate readings here?. I'm getting vac and boost 20in - 6psi. Thanks for the input.

2.9" will give you roughly 8psi depending on the tuning. We sell the pullies if you are interested.

I am interested, i emailed you guys yesterday about tuning, open up the chicago date because im in! I will have to get one before the retune. 8 is ok on 93 octane without det?

Provided you are using good quality fuel, you are fine. I'm at 11.1psi on a 2300 and Justin is around 7-8psi on his 1900. Are you running a wideband?

yes on the wideband, just installed it last week. haven't really done that many WOT pulls to see what its running consistently. Bad Mi roads and analog gauge can be hard to read at times. i wanna say its at around 11.5-12 to 1. but i could be way off. seems to run a little rich
