Hey guys,
As some of you know that I have been very fortunate to be chosen to test out the Guardian Angel that prevents overboost conditions or even acts as an methonal or other controler fail safe. The unit was designed by Alex, the owner of Stratified Automotive Controls which is based in Vancouver.
When I received the Guardian Angel I was very impressed how professional the unit looked and how it was very well constructed with detail.
The best place that I was able to install the unit was right on the fuse panel located on the driver side of the vehicle. The power source was very easy to tap into since I tapped into #12 of the engine bar and then grounded the black wire to the panel of the body and ran the warning indictor wire with light through the fire wall and drilled a little hole on the button on the left side of the steering wheel. The vacum line was bypassd through the GA and then connected on to the bpv.
I set the boost peak on the GA at 10psi and then took the car out for a little test drive. During the test drive I noticed that the power was not turning on the unit. After the test drive, all connections had to be reinspected and the problem ended up to be the connector on the ground wire. The ground connector was replaced and the power came back on. I went out for another test drive and the unit worked, when I stepped on the gas and the GA kicked in at 10 psi. It took several runs to dial in the set up on the GA for the proper boost cut off I wanted to achieve for my car.
The GA is a must for every speed owner who wants a piece of mind when driving their car and not to worry about the infamous zoom zoom BOOM!
I rate this cool unit 9.5 outta 10.
