the a/c can be recharged from the high side with a proper valve, car running 
at increased idle..i could find the proper specs to boot if need be. it had 
to be done to my car three times before i figured out an o-ring was to 
blame...as rush limbaugh would say, the 'environmentalist wackos' would rake 
me over the coals, i hope you guys are a bit more empathetic.

the standard vdo boost guage is what im using.  i sacrificed a bit of 
function for form. i appreciate the white guage faces to match the dash.  
its currently(and has been for months) mounted unfinished in a kuda cell 
phone mount (next to the dash,passenger side) with vdo oil pressure guage as 
well.

im still waiting for more troubleshooting words back from tim at nea/tjm.  
when last we spoke i provided him with detailed boost values when 
the ...."drrrrrrrrr"...."drdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdr".... or "brrapbrrapbrrap"... 
happens.   the one thing he asked that i overlooked was the integrity of my 
catalytic converter..we'll see...   ive been over the whole ignition 
system,fuel pump,fpr,maf,various connections,boost leaks,dump valve & so on.

also, please pray for strength to the pace family... their son,my friend,is 
no longer with us.
