RE: Cheap power, Diode, MBC, and Boost gauge install
Already answered the first question. No, your not damaging the engine, the engine is stout and can hold way more than what a ko3 can throw at it.

Thanks alot for the help man, I got two more questions though.
1. You are pumping more air into the engine with this mod, but since its not a chip, you dont add any fuel, so does the computer compensate for that or do you just run a higher air ratio over the fuel ratio? Yes, the computer compensates for the extra air. If you read the posts that has been said about 500 times now.
2. With more air pumped in and increase in pressure in the cylinders, wouldnt that be harsher on the engine? (part of my reliability question) In a way yes but the engines are designed well and it won't cause any problems. Just look at some of the other guys who are running BT setups with over 100K miles and they don't have any problems and they are pushing A LOT more air in than this would ever do.

NO!!! Stay away from that one!!! I have had nothing but problems when I had it on mine. I eventually just took it off. There have been others who also have had problems as well.

Is the turbonetics MBC better than these two?

Also, would this be a good guage? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-52m...ayphotohosting
