Boost Gauge - What do you use?

[The MoffMeister]

by the way Moff, is your car remapped at all

just one thing i have experienced before with a cheap boost gauge was it was ok as standard, but as soon as it was mapped, and pushing about 20psi, it needle rattled and vibrated like mad!

yes mate mapped and no probs with readings either, they are cheap in price but accurate to, more value than there worth.

look anywhere for them as for oil and boost etc look previous page i have 2 links one with the installation of the oil temp no drilling needed easy as mate

Is it just a case of tapping wires then? Do you know anythink about oil Pressure?? Would it be good to have?

well most ppl opt for temp i know a few have gone for pressure but that is a bit of effort type in oil pressure gauge in the search button that'll come up with a few things i went for temp as you'd be surprised how long it actually takes for the oil to warm up, just cos the temp gauge in the car says engine is warm doesnt mean the oil is and its no good booting a car with cold oil etc

Get 5mm vac hose. i used that to get to the car then connected the small peice of hose you get with the guage to the inside of the car!
