Firstly, BIG BIG thanks to Graham and his technical guy (don't know your name)...for farting about with me unorthodox Power Engineering Boost Gauge!
After 2 hours of modifying the gauge, pod, and pipes.....it was done...and boy does it look good! It goes from -15psi to 20psi...which on a car that has been known to hit 17psi on the odd occasion..is perfect!
On the way home...i just couldn't help flooring the loud pedal to see the needle swing from negative pressure to positive pressure! It was highly amusing!
The car does indeed hit 17psi when in a tall gear (4th or 5th) and when accelerating from low down like 2000rpm. It boosts upto 17psi momentarilly, backs off to 5psi...then hits 12psi.....
This event only happend on my way back from RSD though...the trip from Amerthys to RSD...it hit a max of 12psi everytime!!!
Will try and get a picture of it soon...but for 100quid supplied and fitted...its well worth the money.
Everyone should get a boost gauge! Its wicked!
