Can anyone help me with an accurate boost meter/gauge in the Bucks, Berks wilts area as i want to set up jets :)

I just got some from these guys.

I ordered it yesterday at 1ish and it arrived today at 12. Its in and every thing :D

 

The look good too and from my test run are accurate. I run stock and it showed 9psi on the gauge.

 

It cost £39.99 plus £8.50 for over night P&P. I got a few things and it still cost £8.50 P&P.

Good price! What are they like to install, may be tempted as my first Zed mod...:D

 

Cheers

Piss easy. You get a t-peice to put on your current boost tube. Put the new tube through a hole in near the battry to get in the car. Screw it to the back of the dial and its done. Hardest part is trying to get the tube through the hole.

I am currently trying to get some pics of it light up now its getting darker, but I will need to get the tripod out cos its using a fast shutter speed so you dont see the colours so well.

Which one did you get?

 

I got the LED ones. :D

I am about to post pics of them lite up :D

 

Really easy to do. Like I said the hardest part is to get the tube through the hole near the battery.

 

For the light, get a feed from the light on the ash tray. Take off the surrounding near the hand brake and use the red and green wire to power the light. :D

As you look at the engine does it go onto the left or right hand side boost vac line , by the sounds of it mine is identical to yours (boost gauge)

Here are the gauges lite up.

The boost gauge plugs in as you stand at the front of the car, the bolt at the back on the right side. Inches away from the battery.

You're missing a pound and a half according to the Stillen chart! According to them you get an extra 1.5pounds of boost with an intake and exhaust! What does your stock boost guage read?

My stock reads over 14psi cos its shit. Its getting the feed from the same place as the stock gauge anyway.

 

I cant see how you get more boost with intake and exhaust. The waste gate opens when it reaches 9psi/0.62bar causing all excess pressure not to enter the engine.

 

But saying that every where I read about stages at stage 2 is says 10.5 psi. Where does that come from. So you maybe right. Could I have a boost leak some where? How can you tell? People say you can hear it. Hear what?
