Hey guys just wanted to share a recent YouTube video I made with some of my friends. Basically a quick run down on how to install a stratified guardian angel v3 and it's benefits.

https://youtu.be/njeMo8sHHf0

I've been kind of silent as to my build and the twists and turns it's taken. I will update my build thread soon if not tonight with the whole story. But until then let me know what you guys think of the install!

Cool...but what does the Guardian Angel do? It would be good to explain that in the beginning. And...what will happen when you need to get your car smogged?

It's a 4 bar map sensor and a over boost safety. We say it at the end.

I still.have like 3 years before I have to worry about smog. I think I can sneak it through visual with a stock air box, and all my monitors show as ready. Cali smog for a 01+ is a obd 2 check and a visual inspection. So I should be fine.

For visual they will need the engine cover off, some places charge if they have to do it. Will be interesting what they make of the stratified label on the fuel rail. My guess is, unless you have connections it will not pass the visual. Just throw some of that tape over it [emoji106]

but to get back on topic, I had no idea this "build" even existed. Time to creep on your profile to find your build thread. The YT vid sold me at "built engine" lol

It’s not a Cali mandate, it’s at the discretion of the shop.

This is good info as I plan to get the aux fuel in the future and may want this for good measure. Also, whats that knocking noise at 14:50?

A little off topic but where did you get that spoiler?

[idea] Since when is a Guardian Angel the only option for an upgraded map sensor in a FiST? [rofl]

The noise is/was my spec clutch. The wing is a maxxton uk fiesta rs wing.

I was told it's pretty much the only option for the manifold.

I'm glad you find it amusing.

No need to upgrade the one on the manifold. Upgrade the TMAP on the cold side charge pipe. Ran around 34psi for quite some time with only the one upgraded.
