:v after hours of measuring, trying to custom fit, cutting, running wires, figuring alternatives for this or that, and some custom fabrication, i have the result...

Looks nice! Very clean install.

very nice... so wheres the outlet now?

BenzoAMGpower

outlet?

Bux

so whats the boost read out when boost is goin

BenzoAMGpower

1st gear peaked at only 12psi for some reason (maybe b/c i stomped it from a roll when it wasnt under boost yet and needed a bit more gear to get full boost)... the other gears peaked at 17.5psi!! Its fun to see the electromagnetic clutch on the s/c work as boost picks up and drops right back off into 0 or vacuum!!

The outlet for the cigarette lighter.. Where do you charge your cell phone or whatever from?

BenzoAMGpower

the outlet for my cigarette lighter is in my cup holder compartment!! Is the 02 model different?

vimzin

lol sorry was thinking of my bmw.. once again nice mod

BenzoAMGpower

thank you..hehe...

hey nice job. just wondering where you connected the boost line ?? i wanted to install one but didn't know where to connect the boost line. did you have to drill any holes on your motor ?? thanks for the help

psk145

I dont know if that is because of the clutch on the blower. On my bmw, as soon as the throttle was released, it would immediately drop back into vacuum. The only time it would go into boost is if the throttle was pressed moderately to hard.

BenzoAMGpower

yes, unfortunately i couldnt find a vacuum line that lead into the intake portion after the s/c so we had to tap into part of the intake manifold!!! It shouldnt be a problem so long as you knwo what you are doing. I had an experienced MB mechanic help me through the whole process though, i wouldnt recommend this install for any amatuers!!

Lookin good Very nice mod!

o nice! almost similar as mine... i had a hard to tryin to find the boost line though, only could find the vacum. did you had to drill hole into your intake manifold?

Jon200

damn, that looks tight

Vadim @ evosport

In order to read boost a hole in the manifold will need to be made. Not a big deal, but does require more tools.

MiamiAMG

Honson,

That looks bad ***!!!!

BenzoAMGpower

yes, I had to tap into the Intake manifold on the drivers side portion wehre the air comes back up from teh I/C... Jerry, post some pics of your gauge setup, I would love to see it.

SiLvaC32

itz not fully complete yet... i haven't touched it for a while... still needs to be fix!~ i'll post pix once its up and running. =)

BenzoAMGpower

cool.. i look forward to them!!

acm

There's a nice how-to on this SLK32 site on installing a boost gauge. I would imagine the procedure is very similar on a C32:

install was very similar, except i tapped into part of teh intake manifold instead of the Y-pipe!!!
