I think the Motion Pro one that has the real mercury in it ($50-60) is about as cheap as you're going to get. I found one at my local accessory shop.

Good question rrasco. Although I can't find the link right now, I stumbled apon a post once that explained how to fab a sync tool. The only problem is that you can only make it 2ports. Ideally, you need a 4port to sync them all at once but it can be done with a 2port as well, just a little more of a hassle to switch back and forth before you get the propper tune. However, one thing that wasn't specified in the 'howto' is what to use as adapters. I realized that once the rest was done. Haven't really looked for anything that would work yet but I'm sure there must be a solution. I'm hesitant to get the old-school mercury type tool while the next-best thing costs upwards of 100$. If I can make one for 12$, why not give it a try?

Do you guys know what type of adapter is needed? 5 or 6mm? I'm going to buy this manometer, just need to know if I need the extra 6mm adapters.

No I think you're fine with the ones that come with it. I bought the "Motion Pro" one that it supercedes, and I was fine.

Thanks! I plan on taking pics and making a write-up for the F1 while I'm at it, so I'll get back to you guys on all that once I get it and sync em up.

I would like to know as well.

Back on topic, I get between 35 and 60mpg depending on traffic, how I feel like driving that day(i.e. grandpa or agressive), idiots thinking they can take a cane, etc. Usually around 125 miles per tank, without using the reserve, ~2.7 gallons. Because most trips I drive a little bit of both styles. I just reset my trip meter at every fill up and keep an eye on it. Some of the lights here are almost 5 minutes long too. So I shut it down in the heat of summer, because I can run all the way to hot very quickly sitting there.

I guess I wasn't too descriptive, though.

Thanks, I particularly want to make mine show where to hook everything up, because that was my biggest hurtle, but I looked on my spare block and its right there. I think the syncing is pretty self explanatory in itself.
