i did something wrong
i installed the ats turbo set up i got, in south jerzy
wow what an adventure.
heres my delima, there seems to be exhaust comming from some where near the snail. but it seem to be seated right
also the boost gauge, plactic tube line is tapped into the snail
but the gauge doesn't move, but if i take the line off and just blow into it ,the needle moves
all that being said the truck has a lot more get up & go
i guess it's all new to me ,
i have not turned up the fuel-----yet
what do you all think

you arent gonna get much boost until you turn that fuel up. you need the heat and air volume to spin it. the hotter it is, the faster it will spin. like joe said, until you start to lug it you wont really see anything. if you got a trailer, hook that baby loaded to it and see what happens. you do need to turn the fuel up though. 1 1/2-2 flats to start with. then you can fine tune it from there using the pyro after you get a few miles on it.

x3 on turning the fuel up. I turned mine up before I turbo'd it. Only a 1/2 flat...but after the turbo i ended up turning it up 1 more flat. My boost guage wasnt working until i did that. The snail leaking exhaust might be a sealing problem even if its seated correctly.

well it sounds like the fuel has got to get turned up & thats- that
as i under stand when the ip is on the truck, &the allen key is in position, turning it towards the front of the truck clockwise is the way to go. i also read about a screw adjustment, on the pump, witch way do you turn that? any pictures?
