    Well I hope Perrin's welding abilities have gotten better since Alex's inter cooler issues. Is there a car involved or do you just want an IC and a turbo for shelf decoration?

    Anyone have an idea why my boost gauge stopped working after the swap? Checked the lines and no cuts or kinks.

    Don't think so, the tubing connects to a pressure sensor then to the gauge.

    Hmm, well 4 options, wire loose, broken sending unit, broken gauge or some kind of issue with the hose.
