Have'nt had a chance to find out, after I talked to you Saturday I ended up having to chill out for the rest of the day cause my back started spazzin and lockin up on me. I'm gonna try to work on it tonight or in the morning. Thanks for being so helpful Leroy.
Went to crank the truck this afternoon to go to the store and it won't start now. Checked the fuses, the gauge fuse is blown, can't find whats doing it. The ECM fuse was fine. I've pulled and cleaned the grounds. nothings gotten anybetter, just seems to be getting worse.
Yep truck runs without the gauges and ses light. The backlighting in the cluster works, but the gauges aren't reading out. Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out.
Cleaned and reattached the grounds on the engine and batteries yesterday. Did'nt get a chance to drive it til today and it was running fine, until, I left the Dr. offices and the gauges quit working suddenly when I got the truck started. No warning lights, no glow plug light, no...
Alrighty then, today I went to have lunch with my girlfriend and noticed the speedo and tach gauges would jump up and down several times, was even doing it when the truck was'nt running with the ignition on. It would stumble and hesitate on take off. I checked the codes and it was 18,35, and 54...

Got mine finished tonight. Went for a short run and got 5psi at best. I'm gonna go to a lighter spring in the morning to see if that helps. I want to get it to at around 10psi. I went with the copper hose because I figured it would be stronger and last longer than the plastic one. I think I can...
Ok so I installed the boost gauge, lol, yea its getting 0 boost. The Vac pump must be completely shot, but thats ok its getting 86'd. Unfortunately when I was climbing on the engine to get to the OPS I broke the dang plastic line to the boost gauge, ugh. I replaced it with the copper line and...
Oh forgot, I do have a boost gauge, I plan on installing it tomorrow. I did'nt want to take a chance on running too much boost and damaging my engine, thanks for the reminder though.
daustin, thats about the simplest one I've read about, first one I've seen pics of though. Thanks. I believe I will use your idea. So you just threaded the rod with a 1/4 course thread and bent the other end to stay attached to the wastegate lever? Thanks Pruittx2 for the part numbers.
I'm looking for ideas on how to modify the watsegate canister to make my own TM, manual bost controller, however you want to put it. I can't seem to find any pics anywhere of what anyone has done to theres ,I've searched more than I care to. I am also going to 86 the vacuum pump because mine has...
