Boost gauge install location help on maggie tvs1900

[MonoAnt]

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.

Only 6psi! Pulley that thing!

 

[JennaBear]

Yes, that will be accurate.

im a baby, what can i get away with on 93, 8#? and thanks jenna for confirming the boost location, i figured it was right but like i said im a baby. what size pulley 2.8? its my daily driver and i dont want to kill her. its got 98k on the clock and i have a baby on the way, I cant afford to build another one, makes me nervous,

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

 

[MonoAnt]

WOT today 11-1 AFR, seems rich?

 

[ezdaar]

What brand wideband?

What brand wideband?

Autometer GS. Before the cat drivers side

at wot dont seem bad AFR if your not knocking...you can deff get more PSI out of her safely with good gas as Jenna mentioned...

Jenna, what pulley size are you running on your tvs2300?

 

[MonoAnt]

Got a new autometer gs digital afr so i know for sure what im at. Turns out wot im at 12 to 1 now i think thats prolly too lean. Any input?

I'm running a 3.2" I believe.

A little leaner than ideal. Could be the tune or a dirty MAF.
