after almost a week of startin' my installation, i finished. but i still have a couple leaks and things to work out

just wonderin'....how many are runnin' check valves at 7psi? because my CEL comes on after i reach high boost. right now i have 3 check valves on my map sensor.

and where do i connect the tube for the boost gauge, right now i have it connected to my intake manifold, but it only reads vacuum...when i step on the gas it goes toward 0psi, but it never goes into the boost area?

 

sound like it might be connected with your check valves
connect the boost gauge with your fpr

 

can you post some more close up pics of your engine bay

 

is your intercooler painted or anodized?

 

painted with high temp paint...i'll try to get more pictures later
