boost gauge help??

[mini_hammy]

right bought a boost gauge and well am stuck lol

first pic is a thread but not sure where it goes

and the other is where u must put a vac hose of some kind

sorry about the bad pics but any help would be good??

cheers

i dont know where the first goes as i have never seen one of those on a boost gauge. the second pic needs to be in a vac pipe coming off the throttle body!

what gauge is it?

 

[mini_hammy]

it gives you instructions on that link on how to fit it

 

[mini_hammy]

so you gonna tell me where it goes?? lol

am not sure where it screws into??

back of boost gauge. send another pic of all gauge ect

 

[mr_D]

it looks like that pressure sensor has to be tapped into the inlet manifold. you have to drill it and then a tap and die set to correct the thread. then tap it in.

 

[daves ibiza]

that . how come its like that lol

Sounds like alot of work for a boost gauge compared to others on the market.

 

[mr_D]

yeah send it back and get a new one. that is alot of work unless you wanna waste the time.

in order to do it properly.

place gauge.
wire in.
run wires
remove inlet manifold
pilot hole
bore to correct size
tap it.
fit it
refit inlet manifold and check working


(fail)

i bought them off a guy a know very cheap still in the boxes wrapped up

mite jst try and sell them on they are £288 for both i bought..thats wen brand new tho

so should be able to shift them for a decent price lol

 

[mr_D]

you can buy cheap gauges than that. mine are about £700-£900 for the set and they are not even that hard to fit. thats weird that set up.

 

[mr_D]

however i believe the accuracy of your gauge maybe amazing du to the way it collects the date so to be honest i dont think it will be that bad if you decided to run it.

ry defi gauges all the way
