any way you should get one, I personally like the AEM Ugeo as it gives you the actual value and a color surround guage which is easy to look at while going hard on it. Im sure that its not going to be like other boosted vehicle I have built where it is so fast it is hard to look at the guage... but you never know. The go pretty cheap on ebay and other online stores, check them out

I had some bad knock the past few days ( that i noticed ) and only under load. I havent really touched anything under the hood besides an oil change and check my air filter. It was a busted air intake clamp behind the IAT sensor. Obviously allowing air past the iat and causing all kinds of noise. Lucky i have a spare airbox and hose. My clamp was weak and thin compared to the 2010 airbox clamp.

All kinds of dirt in my intake tube so i bought some seafoam and sprayed about half a can. Let it sit for about 10 mins, drove around quickly and changed the oil and filter. $2 clamp can cause all kinds of shit....

When you say stuck open, you mean spraying fuel into the cylinder consistently or the injector was seated properly?
