I do have a gauge , but its in the engine bay ,I cant fit any more gauges inside, I thaught that I had simply used out the storage and the pump was now supplying the pressure. :!: , when I stopped and chesked I only had 30psi on the gauge an it wasnt rising (since the filter was dirty) , it normally does within 2-3 seconds!! , luckily I did not go into boost and cause any damage to my motor. :idea:

What pressure would you set the warning indicator to come on? Check Honeywell's web site for Hobbs switches. They are available with numerous setpoints, connectors, and internal materials. I am planning one to tee in the pump outlet line along with an accumulator. The switch will only turn on a warning indicator for awhile, but future upgrades will have it toggle the PCM program and possibly limit boost (if I can get that part worked out).
