Turbo GSR owners- I need ideas and info please!

Hey guys,

This all refers to a 99 gsr GReddy Turbo kit. TD05- 18G Already installed

Specs:
Non intercooled (intercooler comming in the mail soon)
No BOV (got the hks super sequential, but want somehting totally quiet)
Pretty much the bolt on kit that greddy gives you direct.
NGK 6 series plugs gapped to .030 Is this correct?????
Autometer electric oil pressure- dont know where to put the gauge inside the car
Autometer boost gauge- same situation as the oil pressure gauge
Both are the ultra light series i donno if that makes a difference in quality- but i heard autometer sucks.

I just bought a crappy gauge pod that holds the 52mm gauges in the dash. Do all these pods things cover the temperature and gas meters? Or did i get a crappy aftermarket POS?

The other thing is, i need ideas on where else to put these gauges. I was thinking right below the radio, i was goin to custom fit them. And how did you guys wire the boost gauge and what t-fitting you need and accessories for it?

Last, I notice a huge power increase between full boost and about 6k rpms. Am i noticing a power loss due to the heat from being non intercooled? Or is the turbo not putting enough output to produce at the higher rpms? 6k is when vtec kicks in since i put in the p73 (itr ecu) and have the itr cams in. Maybe thats screwing things up?

PLEASE DONT TELL ME I NEED TUNING, i already understand that, and i will do it as soon as the intercooler is in and the gauges are installed. Thank you

Yes the gapping of the plugs is correct for the setup you have. Yes the cluster pod covers most of the temp and gas gauges. I have the real Autometer one and it does it. Autometer makes good gauges there is nothing wrong with them. PLEASE REMOVE THE ITR ECU IF YOU HAVE STOCK INTAKE MANIFOLD. The ITR ECU will not open the secondary butterflies and that is why the car is falling on it's face. You can leave the ITR cams inside but if you do not have an aftermarket intake manifold your hurting the performance of the car. You will need tuning and I suggest reverting back to OBD1 and using one of the many available EMS systems. I don't know how to install boost gauges since I am an all-motor guy. There has to be some instructions somewhere on the forum.

:eek good catch. many people might overlook this crucial conflict of modifications

for the boost gauge i hooked up the wires to the lparking lights wiring behind the dash, so the light comes on when i turn on my headlights. then you run the vacuum line under the hood. cut a vac line and insert a t-fitting then hook up your new vac line and the other 2 get hooked up to the 2 ends of the line you cut in half.
