Yes, it does but once I get my stock tires back on and the roads warm up, it will make a HELLUVA LOTTA difference.

 

Great thread xviper! Belongs in the FAQ's.

Xviper, could you post more pics on how you connected all 3 guauges

 

This is the only new pic I have of what you're asking for.
Re: Boost gauge: The following is the "T" into the vacuum line that is further along from the pic on the previous page of this thread labelled "T-1.jpg". Notice the blue "T"? This is what I used to size down to the thin white line that goes through the firewall and to the back of the boost gauge.


The water temp & oil pressure gauges and pod pillar mount is covered in these threads:

Hey Viper,

I have a Comptech Super Charger on my car '01. Well after driving a while, I come up to a stop sign. My engine then starts to die (but it doesn't) as if it's not getting enough fuel.

I installed a fuel gage monitor to see what's happening when my car is in that condition. I find out that my fuel gage needle was jumping at 50-53 (the normal pressure is 30's). I brought it to the place that installed it and they still don't know what the problem is.

Could it be that my Fuel Management Unit gone bad? Please advise me what do to so that i wont get rip off by the shop that have no idea what they are doing.

Am I not getting fuel? Or am I getting too much fuel? Is it the supercharger that is causing the problem? Is my engine short of air? Is there any upgrades that I need to make?

I have comptech headers, dual apex exhuast, aem intake...i dont have an inter cooler. Could that be my problem?

Can someone please help me? I love my s2001 and hate to have to sell it.

Please email me @ cvan76@msn.com or reply to this post. I would appreciate any feed back. Thanks!!

 

cvan, I'm not completely familiar with the Comptech setup. You might try to post this in "Under the Hood" in a new thread.
The following is just a guess along with some questions for you:
First, has this been happening since the initial S/C install or has this been a recent occurance? Is this near stall fairly consistant or does it only do it sometimes? Does it do it more when you are running the A/C? It "might" not have anything to do with the S/C (kinda hard to say as some S/C problems may mimic my next comment). You could simply have a faulty MAP sensor, which will produce your symptoms in a NA car. In "most" of those circumstances, the car will have several "near death" experiences and then "learn" and will not do it again for quite some time.
Try the "MAP whack" and resetting your ECU. The MAP sensor sits on top of your throttle body. Unclip the wiring harness, tap it firmly several times with the rubber handle of a screwdriver, clip the harness back on securely. Reset the ECU by pulling the "BACK UP" fuse in the driver's side footwell. The legend on the driver's side kick panel will tell you which fuse this is. With the car OFF, pull this fuse (should be in the 3rd slot, NOT the 3rd fuse) for about a minute and put it back in. If this doesn't resolve your problem, then you may have a more serious problem.
I can't give you a specific comment about the fuel pressure except that 30 psi at idle doesn't seem abnormal. Does it go up and stay up when under heavy acceleration? If your FMU is bad, you will not get the "boosted" performance as this is when fuel pressure is most critical.
BTW, how can you have a S/C and an AEM intake? This part doesn't make sense. You can't have both.
