what about this, do you think you can stop the colour to stay red?

 

[UncleFester]

Doubt it if you're happy to order from the US ... i am sure you can pick something up.

quick question
i have found this gauge which i like
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AUTOGAUGE-60m...ryZ72215QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

only problem it goes up to 20psi and fester said i would need 30psi,
but would my tdi produce over 20psi?
cheers

edit: have been told a mapped tdi well a 150 prob produces 24-27 psi. what psi does a mapped 110 prob produce?
cheers

if you are interested in importing from usa then check out www.omoriusa.com very good quality gauges was going to get them for my audi s3 but they didnt do the correct ones for me so ended up making some custom ones using some stack gauges

I ordered my autometer one from the US no broblems was about £33

i use a defi gauge in mine well worth a look mate

 

[Danny_FR]

Was about £20 IIRC from Helfrauds... A very good match to the dash both during the day and at night.

30psi is 3 bar???

 

[Danny_FR]

30psi is 3 bar???

1 bar is about 14.5psi IIRC.

mine is the same as Danny FR' and although mine was from ebay, you can get them from Halfords. Selectable background colours and red needle.

Wireing isn't clear from the instructions but I can give you pics if you need.

1 bar is exactly 14.7 psi because i had this drummed into me when i was learning hydraulics

This is the AutoMeter one not got any pics at night but it is red like the other dials

[brad1]

It does but it wasn't any use for me (i don't know if you've got anywhere to take a boost reading from). I went down to a local plumbers suppliers and got a fitting from them.
