doI need a better boost gauge
If you plan on turning the boost up you will want an aftermarket boost guage. The factory one just isn't precise enough for any sort of fine tuning.

I'm pretty sureyou need to change to the square intake manifold when you change to LA3 and 35# injectors. I have heard this from several sources.The 84-85 have inline intake. I'vebeen considering the same swap for my 85 SVO.

Your knock sensor should be on the lower intake pointing towards the strut towar

What gear where you in??? Also there are a few things that would cause this (no more power after a certin RPM)

DidI mention thatI am a turbo noob and dont know anything about mods that you can do to them. After looking at other websites, i got some things straight..andtwo unanswered questions.

Is it possible to get a blow off valve on a svo,to get that "woosh" sound?
If i get a boost controler, what do you guys recomend and doI need a better boost gauge(people say the stock one is crap)?
Like tbird 231ci will point out. can use a blow off valve. But after a blow off car will run real odd.{rich}. Let us face it bov just got rid of the air for next amount of fuel. I am using a bypass valve on a 89turbo. You make ask tbird about easy of driveable with a blow off valve.

No you dont you just need to repin the eec plug and put the 35lb injectors in the inline fuel rail. The actual intake doesn;t matter.
