Boost gauge pod/holder idea!

[Damoegan]

Ok, I've got my boost gauge all in and working and it looks the muts nuts

I've got a few pict and vids from testing it in the workshop at work and with it in the car and all done but I cant put them up till I get home tonight and upload them to photobucket.

The quality is so much better than the autogauge one I had in my last car, its just sooo smooooth.

I'd recommend them to anyone

 

[rashcupra]

good to know! i wait to see the vids.

 

[Damoegan]

I'll get them up tonight for ya rash.

My standard boost is holding 10psi so it will be interesting to see what it is boosting at when I get the remap on wednesday.

You gotta be happy with that.

Have you disabled the audible warning?

 

[Damoegan]

TBCupraT - No mate the warning is still on. Not sure how to remove it yet.

very smart how hard was the wirring i want 1 but i am woried about the diffuculty of fitting it

 

[Damoegan]

The wiring wasn't that hard Luke, the hardest part is getting the boost pipe through the bulk head and running the power cable from the gauge behinde the dash to the power source

Awsom gauges though

Looks good, Damoegan. That beep would do my head in tho personally.

 

[Tall-Paul]

Just found this:

Gauges come with audible alarm turned on. To turn off (which we highly recommend) during power on stage, hold down
peak/warning button.

 

[Damoegan]

Just found this:

I've tryed thet mate, dont work for me.
Must have it wired up wrong or sumit

 

[Tall-Paul]

I suppose its a bit late for you but I've found somewhere that does single gauge A-Pillar mounts for £10. I think this is another project for my list lol
