Sorry...but this sound like BS. There are plenty of GT640s that show 1.2 boost. I don't get it? It sucks you've been screwed like that IMO.

Like I said I am not trying to stir up any crap for anybody but I am not happy with how this went down, Actually when I first installed the kit that is advertised as "safe" for a stock motor, The first time I got on it I bent a rod and that cost me a engine rebuild (approx $20,000.00) now this ($3,700.00 and change) add the original cost of the kit on that and I should have bought a 2007 997TT

Hey Statman, that's cos they use different ranges of diodes to show whatever on the boost gauge. .9bar-1.2bar on a 640 kit isn't actually showing the real boost anyways. The stocker really isn't all that great. I've always used a real analog one etc....

I don't want to start anything over the forum because I would probably be banned for life considering who it is. So if I happen to suddenly dis-appear come looking for me
Man that's too bad Let us know how it goes tho.

oak has much to be proud ofoak has much to be proud ofoak has much to be proud ofoak has much to be proud ofoak has much to be proud ofoak has much to be proud ofoak has much to be proud ofoak has much to be proud of
so, in the end, did you save any money buying used? or could have bought a new set up for nearly the same amount spent?

He is well aware of all my problems and at the time offered no "help", In his defense he didn't install the kit just sold it to me, I am confident if he would have installed it and there was a problem he would of stood behind it.

But regarding this situation I do feel I should have been given better info, At least I would have started with the analog boost gauge and realized what was going on. Instead I got to pay for a hunt for leaks.

Got ya. Understand now... Somewhere/someplace being told the stock boost gauge is no longer functional is a good idea
