Boost Gauge...How high above desired level?

[diss7]

As long as its accurate and your boost control is sweet, then why bother?

Wtf?

How the hell will he know if its running 20, or over 20 if the gauge only goes upto 20?

If you're cheap and want to upgrade your gauge to drift-spec, rotate the face plate so that the needle rests where -5psi would be, so when its boosting 5psi, the needle now rests on 0.
This means you can now use the gauge to 25 psi.

Disclaimer - Ive never done this, and don't intend to. - Get a new gauge.

Well generally if the boost is controlled properly, it'll go to 20psi and sit on it. If he wants to run over 20psi then he'd want a bigger gauge.
Seeing as he "only" wants 20psi, then one that reads that high would be fine

ok sweet...anyone want a boost gauge that reads to 20psi then?

[Adydas]

Anyone with the money to be runnign 20+ PSI of boost needs a classy boost guage, So i now highly reccomend the good ness of an a eletrical guage such as Defi or Apexis range that lets you record and playback your bad ass boost levels.

[no_8wire]

classy?
This is classy




But not high enough...

[CozmoNz]

thats not classy, thats repco, i had one in my aw! (mr2sik put it in i think)

anyway, those clips are sort after apparently, better than those shitty cup mounting things.

haha say yes to chrome cups people!


I like the white dials...so sue me

No, you're still not getting it.
The gauge might tell him that the controller is holding it at 20, but it might be holding it at 22, or creeping past 20 etc etc.

those are black dials... with white markings

wtf, get an accurate gauge, the boost guage does actually go over the 20psi line, not good for it, but thats why you turn it up in incriments to get that level

anyway, get a bigger gauge and be done with it

[no_8wire]

well obviously I meant white dial markings...



hahaha

What are autogauges like anyway? the electric ones?

You've never run higher than 20psi on a 20psi gauge then huh.
