Gauges & A Pillar Pods

KEW

Guest
Has anybody fitted these to a diesel Leon?

I'm interested in sourcing an A pillar triple pod with gauges that can be best used on a diesel. Any suggestions or advice on which gauges to use on diesels and source from would be great thanks.

you could fit any gauges, the boost gauge link to ur vacum line

Not on a Diesel you dont....

First the guage has to take a higher guage reading.... so normally 3bar range...

2ndly the link for the reading isnt like a petrol in the vacum line, it has to be taken from the pipe connecting the intercooler with the turbo, its a plastic rectanglur pipe that you tap into, and it will read only positive pressure increase, unlike petrol it doesnt have a vacum reading as it remains positive to keep the turbo spooled up enough....

just thought I'd make that clear, before you cut into the wrong line ...
