Will this work with out throwing off the ecu? and if it does work what hose/hoses do i hook it up to? any tips are appreciated. _____________________________ Jesse Frost R.I.P 03 jetta 1.8t forge silicone intake K&N forge spliter valve godspeed frontmount intercooler n57j valve stubby antenna bora bagde euro plate new south boost gauge 14 psi Post #: 1 RE: boost controler questions - 4/21/2008 4:12:53 PM    bagel Posts: 1024 Joined: 8/16/2005 Status: offline Where did you hear it would throw of the ECU??  Well if it does it would give you a reason to re-map it with the GIAC software..lol _____________________________ '00 Jetta VR6 GLS 12V 2.8L Magnaflow Exhaust Custom Cold Air Intake Eurosport Underdrive Pulley GIAC Chip Diamond Mesh Grill--Front Smoked Euro Tail Lights 18" ADR Rims On Toyo Proxes Pioneer Deck, 2400W Rockford AMP, 2-12" Alpine Type (in reply to dubalicious) Post #: 2 RE: boost controler questions - 4/21/2008 8:24:41 PM    dubalicious   Posts: 99 Joined: 9/8/2006 Status: offline true, should i just avoid it and go for the giac? _____________________________ Jesse Frost R.I.P 03 jetta 1.8t forge silicone intake K&N forge spliter valve godspeed frontmount intercooler n57j valve stubby antenna bora bagde euro plate new south boost gauge 14 psi (in reply to bagel) Post #: 3 RE: boost controler questions - 4/22/2008 4:11:52 PM    bagel Posts: 1024 Joined: 8/16/2005 Status: offline yea why not, mine was $300 for the software.  so after you put the gauge in, then get the software upgrade. _____________________________ '00 Jetta VR6 GLS 12V 2.8L Magnaflow Exhaust Custom Cold Air Intake Eurosport Underdrive Pulley GIAC Chip Diamond Mesh Grill--Front Smoked Euro Tail Lights 18" ADR Rims On Toyo Proxes Pioneer Deck, 2400W Rockford AMP, 2-12" Alpine Type (in reply to dubalicious) Post #: 4 RE: boost controler questions - 4/23/2008 9:15:21 PM    dubalicious   Posts: 99 Joined: 9/8/2006 Status: offline what gauge? i already have a boost gauge if thats what you mean... _____________________________ Jesse Frost R.I.P 03 jetta 1.8t forge silicone intake K&N forge spliter valve godspeed frontmount intercooler n57j valve stubby antenna bora bagde euro plate new south boost gauge 14 psi (in reply to bagel) Post #: 5 RE: boost controler questions - 4/24/2008 2:50:34 PM    bagel Posts: 1024 Joined: 8/16/2005 Status: offline not the gauge I meant the controller, my bad.  _____________________________ '00 Jetta VR6 GLS 12V 2.8L Magnaflow Exhaust Custom Cold Air Intake Eurosport Underdrive Pulley GIAC Chip Diamond Mesh Grill--Front Smoked Euro Tail Lights 18" ADR Rims On Toyo Proxes Pioneer Deck, 2400W Rockford AMP, 2-12" Alpine Type (in reply to dubalicious) Post #: 6 Login OR Register now to post a reply to this forum topic.
