I have no idea what to set the guages to! i just got my timmy last week an have has alot of problems, i am not sure whats wrong but i wanna put some guages on it before i send it to bob to be checked out. Also i bought a 750 and a 1500 guage. Are these to big? i have only read of people with like 300 guages for the low pressure. I just ordered it too=( anyways, i just got my timmy and a gladiator. thanks for the help.

well if your timmy is stock then use 280 on the hp side and 85 on the lp side.
if it is low pressure moded (gutted top reg) use 180 on the hp side and 85 on the lp side.
no adjust the top reg to suit for chrono speed. once you set the lp reg to 85 leave it alone.

A 500psi and a 200psi gauge will work great. If you have the lp mod done the the 300psi and 200psi gauge would be better. Thats only if you want all of those gauges sticking out of your gun. I have guages on the tank only.
I have wicked sports air gauges on mine. 160 for the low and 300 for the high. I have done the lp mode (volumizer) so my hp into the gun is 195 to 200 so a 300psi gauge is fine. I take the low gauge off after I set my lp reg but I leave the high pressure on to keep track of how much pressure is going into the gun at all times.

That 750 gauge is fine. I use a 700 on my HP port. Its no biggie what PSI gague you get but the 1500 is too big. keep the 750 and get a 300. Thats what I have and its fine.
I had 2 300psi gauges and they worked fine..... untill 1 time when I was ckeaning the marker and gased it up. I put the screw too far in and it blew the gauge. It was the Smart Parts (Ashcroft) gauge and blew out at around 400pis. This was only on the HP reg. just becareful after cleaning. Put the Velocity screw most of the way out and work your way up. I also met a guy with a Timmy that was running on 650psi on the HP! It was unbelievable.
Oh, I didnt gas it up when i was cleaning it, it was after I put it together.
