I finally got around to installing my boost, EGT, and back pressure gauges I got from Meyer performance this weekend. Which took me ALOT longer than I thought it would, but I think it turned out really good.
I tapped into my driver side manifold for the back pressure going through an air compressor filter(with copper line), from the suggestions I've seen online, to help it not jump around as much.
When first firing it up all seemed good, everything was working and there were no leeks, which is a plus
Leaving the shop I noticed a loud ticking noise that got louder as I accelerate, almost louder than the turbo whistle. When idling you can just faintly hear it. I checked the air compressor filter drain and that was shut.
When I got to the highway and opened it up, my after intercooler boost was at 20 psi while my back pressure was dancing like crazy from 20 - 30 psi.
So my question is
1. What the heck is that ticking noise? I'm assuming it's coming from something related to the back pressure gauge but I'm not sure.
2. Is that normal for the back pressure gauge to dance back and forth so bad?
Any help is much appreciated. This is the first time dealing with back pressure so I'm not to sure.
If I have to listen to that ticking noise any more I'm going to rip off that back pressure line
I attached some picture so show my line mount and gauges(because they look soooo good, haha) :thumb:
Thanks in advance
