hey guys i no there is alot of questions that are alway repeating about the bb engine swap but this one has to do with a boost gauge and others like i got a quote from a shop for a total of 7412 for engine gauges and shit like that but also the guy told me that is would be worth it to get a egt gauge but they are like 225 for the install and 325 for the gauge also would i need to have a new exhaust insatalled because i have a custom 2 inch one on it know and it is brand new so like i don't want to waste the money on a new one. any help would be great and i know it is always on here but any help would be great ........

well first off..i'm not used to paying labor costs..so i can't be he judge there. i do all my own stuff. however, an egt gauge will prove worthwhile to monitor how your engine is running in reguards to being too lean. you don't want it to get too hot and blow up. and with the exhaust, if you are going turbo..a big exhaust is always in order. this will be a major bottleneck of horsepower.

7412? damn.... that's a hell of a lot..... $225 just to install the gauge? damn.... I should open up my own shop! If you're running the stock BB ecu or a JWT ecu, I wouldn't worry about an EGT gauge unless you start boosting higher than stock. Then it could help and keep you from blowin up your motor.

With the t25, it creates a LOT of backpressure, so the bigger the exhaust the better. 3" is the way to go.

Khiem

sell your custom exhaust and get a 3" pipe all the way back from the cat (depending if you are going to keep the cat or not)

And bro....guages arent hard to hook up....do it yourself, they come with instructions.

Oh, BTW...please use some punctuation.
