I have a series 4 1996 Import and for those who didn't know, the stock boost guage was deleted from the speedo, unsure why???

I'm now looking at the possibility of adding a performance chip but think I should first get myself an after market boost guage. Thinkng about an A pillar pod but unsure where the best place to get one from. Same with the guage. Thinking about maybe a triple pod with an additional 2 guages but unsure what I should be getting (Oil pressure, Water Pump etc.).

Not sure of much am I!! :hyper:

I would prefer guages with black faces to match the current instrument panel.

 

One last one, I've been told, if I upgrade the chip I should look at a boost controller and decat exhaust system for increased BHP.

What is a boost controller, how much are they and what do they do.

 

I'm currently running with original exhaust system, a Blitz SUS Induction kit, APEXi twin chamber BOV's and Injen hard piping.

 

Cheers

Steve

Give them a try ;)

I have a TIM Boost guage that I am no longer using. Its a 52mm one with readings upto 1bar and a black face, comes with dash mount pod. Only had it for 3 months but bought a Turbo Timer that has a boost guage in it.

Hi Steve. First off: a decent induction kit (like yer Blitz), decent zorst, boost controller and ECU are the first modding steps to take and are relatively cheap.

Definately definately definately get an aftermarket boost gauge to go with the controller (some controllers show boost level too but its nice to have a separate dial - espesh in a triple A-pillar pod accompanied by water temp (the stock gauge, like boost, is inaccurate), and oil temp or pressure.

You don't HAVE to get a boost controller just cos youre uprating your chip, although the other way around is true - standard chip might make the engine run too lean when accompanied with controller + higher levels of boost.
