You may want to rephrase that thought somehow...kylefoto said:
OK, real help; I used a heat gun and a big flat screwdriver for the gauges, and slowly molded the plastic into shape. Check my thread from the begining. I did not do the fuel yet. soon.

I may fix it up a little when I do the gas gauge.

that is what I want.
What do you find a heatgun? I dont think we have one.
So you just heat up the bottom part where it's flat?
I'm not so sure I get what you mean.

A heat gun is cheap... the # of parts you can destroy with it is a lot. Only heat from the back. be careful.
Well, good thing I've got two black covers then.buckshotglass said:
Where did you get your heat gun at?
Ah!johnathan1 said:
I could use the one we have at work. That thing gets hotttttt.
Good call john, thanks.

..anywhere that has a paint section. Mine was too big. You could use a lot less heat, and be better off. Check my thread for a red car, with some good tips posted next to it. When the plastic bubbles, its too hot.

I don't get what you mean about the red car.
However,
the plastic bubbling,
yaaaaa, that's usually a sign it's a little hot

I got a heat gun. I need to get my boost gauge in there so maybe we can make a day of it.

The red car is Tookwik4u. He had some tips about using a small torch, which sounded like a good idea. Have fun.
Harbor Freight has a heat gun made by Chicago or something like that. It's like $10. Totally worth the money compared to a Milwaukee for like $139...
Mine has worked flawlessly for over a year.

I was racing a civic last night, killing him, and started hitting fuel cut.
I had done quite a few hard pulls zipping around before this, and was fine. Then I started fuel cutting, in like every gear the rest of the night.
So I had to wait till this morning with light to figure out what I was boosting to and why I'm hitting fuel cut.
Well, I think part of it is because I'm somehow hitting 15psi?
wtfffff?!

What psi do you normally hit? At what psi does your car hit fuel cut, normally? Maybe it was just a really cold night?
Oh, and Kyle, could you list your mods?

12 psi is what I've been at.johnathan1 said:
Fuel cut was hitting at 11 or 12 before I did the AFM mod with the air screw.
Wasn't tooo cold out last night, uppers 40's, low 50's maybe?
Mods are in my sig...
Just went and checked the air screw, got another turn out of it hardly.
I dunno!
Don't see any obvious boost leaks or anything....

okayyy.
So I got the gauges all good to go for the most part, got it all cut out, and I'm pretty happy with the result. I'll get some pictures tomorrow probably, my girlfriend is over right now.
Dunno about the fuel cut.
