Ran plated stockers for years and highly recommend some sort of solid for anything making power

Not all boost gauges read thr same.....my carbon autometer is 2 advanced vs when i used a sport comp

My carbon i idle 12*
Sport comp 14*

Same goes for boost....carbon says 14 psi
Sport comp says 12 psi

Comfirmed with map sensor the carbon is wrong

<p>So it's possible it's the gauge itself, but it's also fairly slow to react to changes. Even if this one is not 100% accurate, I'm almost certain it's not getting a great feed either.&nbsp;</p>

Blow in it, I am sure you can hit 10psi. Others may break the gauge.

<p>Final word... pistons are out .003 from the deck, and gaskets will compress to .050. &nbsp;Lands compression dead nuts on 10.2 with the TFS heads. &nbsp;I am psyched. &nbsp;That's exactly where I wanted it.</p>
