Default first time kit install several issues **searched**


Alright issue # 1 at start up revs right to 3 grand, not sure if this is a vacumm issue or not.

# 2 on my wastegate there are two threads for fittings the one on the side is hooked up, the one on top is open do I need to block it off?

# 3 oil pressure guage isn't working but I am pretty sure that I don't have the ac turn on wire hooked up right. Where has everyone in their experience hooked theirs?

Codes that where thrown were primary o2 and vtec pressure switch both have been resolved as I didn't have the o2 sens on or vtec wired yet.


Thank you in advance for everyones help

1) I would take the piping off of the throttle body and make sure that you dont have something stuck in there. Check the throttle cable with the car turned off. How close to 3k rpms are you when you start it up. I see a little above 2k on cold starts.


2) You don't need the top port unless you are going to run a boost controller (you can leave it open)

3) ac turn on wire? Can you restate this please? Where did you install the oil feed from? Did you reinstall the oil pressure switch or just left it hanging?

ac turn on, 12v source that only works after the key is turned on

I did check the throttle body as I thought that might be it also and was not

Well if the gauge is electric and not mechanical, you should wire the sending unit to a 12 volt constant when the car is on. Does the car just sit at 3k? Did you give it time to warm up to see if the rpms drop?

No problem. Do the revs drop after the car is warm?

in the fuse box under the dash there are ports that can be used for 12 constant, 12 volt ignition, and ground. invest in a cheep multimeter and you will find them with no problem. well... do you know how to use a multimeter?
