Hypermax help - No boost?

In the beginning, i was trying to do the timing by the hypermax book and based on recommendations in the FTE forum. But in the end, I was just adjusting, driving, measuring, and doing it over again. When I found a timing that performed the best, then I left it on that. It didn't really matter if it was retarded or advanced, but if it was spooling up nice. The ferret meter was a nice touch cuz I got to see the degrees, but ultimately that number didn't matter. Once you do the timing adjustment a few times, it's not that hard to do (in my video, I am always accessing my passenger side nut from the doghouse, and after a dozen or so timing adjustments, i found a way to access all three nuts from the front, which saved time). So you can keep adjusting and fine tuning it until it's rolling nice. Which reminds me, I need to invest in a new boost and egt gauge. My Auber gauge kit was total **** and now doesn't work reliably.

I like it a lot. It's one of the few things on my van that works as advertised without modifications. It's simple. It has a sensor you clamp to the alternator, that checks your RPM's. The only catch is, you need a timing gun to verify and calibrate the gauge.

Ha! Of course. It seems the diesel gods are determined to force me into buying a Ferret adapter.
