Fitted Boost Gauge...

[Mr OCD]

... and not sure I like it... Thoughts?

Doesn't seem to match the dials as well as I was expecting!

Any suggestions for a better match? - after a factory look.

How about some red film across the circular area of the dial? Might be crap, but would nt cost much to try out.

I think if you painted/sprayed the silver border black it would fit.

I think your right actually!

Anyone know if bezel comes off on these auto gauges?

Best match I have found for the dash.

No just mask it up and spray

Definately agree there.... Near on perfect match when lit at night.

 

[Mr OCD]

What vac readings are people getting on over run / idle?

 

[andycupra]

-20 or so IIRC

 

[Mr OCD]

Getting -20 on idle... -25 ish on over run...

Boosting to 17-18psi

 

[andycupra]

sounds about right

 

[CupraRmark]

I like it m8 but would rather have the black instead of silver

-22 generally i get yeah -25 ish on over run oh and 21 psi boost

21psi on KO3S!?? - poor turbo!

Sounds like I need stage 2 re-map then if gives you more boost!

Not for my dashboard it isn't...

Not all about boost mate you know where i'd be going if i needed a new map

I know mate... I read somewhere that 19psi was about max efficientcy for the KO3S anyway... I'm pushing 210 @ wheels on 18psi so not bad at all ... ;0)

Drops off quite a bit after 5k rpm...

Not convinced I'd benefit from another map yet tbh.

 

[LEE69]

Yeah you have a good map, performs good.

 

[Mr OCD]

Happy with gauge now... Will mask off and paint bezel Tomz to finish

On white dialled dash YES.
