    Tach ?

    x2, but as far as i know.. and im in NO way a guru here.. the tach needs to receive a generated electrical pulse to spin the needle accordingly to how much of a "generated" signal its receiving. i dont see how the vac pump would supply a voltage signal? ok,maybe an isolated voltage send...

    synth vs organic? opinions please

    yah, read about it AFTER all this happened.. :mad2: but live and learn, it was either that or "champ" filters.. so i opted for the name from what ive read, this might be the cause of the pressure drop

    synth vs organic? opinions please

    oh yah.. no where close to that.. i held it closed with my finger.. maybe 10-15 pounds i figured.. oil pressure = 40-50 psi... stay below that!! waaaay below that to be safe

    synth vs organic? opinions please

    turbo blows excess pressure, but no BOV??
