When I installed my AMS-2000 I was told to either drill and tap another port into the gate or just have the sensor as close to the gate as you can get it. I originally had the sensor about 16" or so away from the gate and the soleniod were going crazy. Moved it 2" from the gate and it was rock solid. I just T'd the sensor into the top port of the gate. I used 1/4" push lock air lines for everything. Easy to work with.

 

Ok thanks for the info. I'll just screw the pressure sensor directly into one of the ports on the gate.

 

How many feet of wrap did it take so far? I need to order some soon

 

I ordered 50' of 2" and 50' of 1" wrap. I don't really like the 1" wrap, I would use all 2" if i did it over again. I just ordered 75' more of the 2". I thought 50' might be enough but I didn't want to run out again so i went ahead and ordered a 25' roll too. If I have extra, I'll just wrap further down the down pipe under the car till i run out. I really do like the DEI titanium wrap though, found it on Amazon with Prime two day shipping. Its a little more expensive but its way easier to work with, and no itchy fiberglass to deal with!

 

That is how mine is. So far it still reads pressure.

 

Ok thanks, I just got the rest of the wrap today so I'll try to get the hot side done and installed this weekend.

 

Took off work today so had a few hours to mess with car. Got waterpump installed, power steering pump, alternator, injectors and rails, wrapped driver header and installed, wrapped crossover pipe but didn't put on yet, started wiring all engine sensors, I think that's about it.

Glad to see it coming together. Nice work.

 

Looks like a beast

 

It was when It actually ran a few years ago lol. Hoping for 9's on drag radials this time. I think I can get it.

 

Gonna do any work this weekend? Looks like its just a few hours away from done!

 

Probably not, daughters bday this weekend so will be pretty busy. Took a week off work starting on the 17th so going to try and get it finished up that week.

 

im speaking from some experience here. the second picture i see a expansion joint in the middle and i have seen some of them come apart and damage the turbine. try to find the ones that are just a accordion.

 

I asked Jeff with ponydown about that years ago and he told me the joints he uses don't have that wire mesh inside that comes apart. I can't really look into it to see, maybe I can tell looking through wastegate mouning hole.

this is what happen to a friend of mine

 

Did you get any kind of acknowledgment from the catch can guy that your order was received? All I got was the receipt from Paypal. An ETA would be cool...

 

nothing yet. i'll try and email him.

 

He sent an email saying he was boxing it up now and will be in the mail tomorrow and will send tracking number.
