[s-cars] Garret 3071 install update - new question

[Emre Washburn]

Are you sure it's ping? It sounds like it's a misfire. Ping is usually
a side effect of overboost.

And yes, you should definitely have a dedicated boost gauge. IMO, even
cars with mild chipsets should have a boost gauges. At your level, you
should have  boost, air/fuel mixture, as well as exhaust gas
temperature gauges.
