I have boost, oil pressure, and A/f, all auto meter gauges. Can anyone tell me whatI should be boosting at say half throttle and full throttle, and what my oil pressure should be at idle and at 40 mph in 5th. Also my a/f gauges jumps from the middle to rich every 2 seconds. The guy i bought it from said its chipped with an apr, but i'm not sure if it is, at full throttle its around 15 psi but it doesn't pull that hard, is it because i have a stock intake and exhaust? My other 1.8 before this one pulled harder and all i had was a drop in filter and an exhuast. Any input is appreciated.

if it's chipped it will pull alot more than a non chipped one. i mean it's a 40-50 hp difference. there are guys on there with stock exhaust and a cone filter and they say that after they chipped their car, they feel like they got a new car. another way to tell if it's chipped or not is to take out the ECU and check for urself. also the boost can be controlled with an mbc.

True enough I don't blame you though - it's hard to keep new toys under wraps. And it's almost impossible to screw up the HID install. You should install one side only at first, then turn the lights on and take a pic for future posts, for all the people that want to see the difference between HID and halogen. If you run into any snags, I'll swing by and show ya what I did.
