Which make of boost gauge do most people use on here?
No back light needed!

Where and how much?
I also may need to get a replacement EBV, something simple to set up and forget!!
Which type do most people on here use?

I need to see what my car is doing as I think it's over boosting.
I have a standard (as far as I know) chip,
360 degree bearing turbo,
K&N flat air filter
Pace SMIC and a supersprint cat-back box.

All the above came with the car, I'm replacing the standard DV with the Forge DV006 when it turns up <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.

Any boost gauge other than a TIM one - spend about 50 quid and just keep looking on ebay until you find one you like. Blitz and autometer are good IMO>

You can't replace the EBV with another EBV. A lot of people run Electronic controllers (pricey) or a PRV - for a PRV PM Cosmograph.

Yeah Jap ones are the best, look out for a second hand one on ebay.

I changed from a durite to a caerbont, about £40 because it gives a nice smooth reading and doesnt flicker about, feels more solid too.

Same gauge as me - not one moment's problem with it <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I like my TIM (2Bar) the colours are cool <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Same as mine, no problem with it <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

If you like it then cool - but I had the same one for about 10 mins before removing it - it rattled, the backlight looked tacky and cheap, and there are no proper increments for you to tell what boost you'r getting, oh - and the response of the needle seemed laboured as well.

There is an autometer one available which matches up with the standard dials quite nicely.

autometer gauges

Edit: Assuming here that you have the black dials.

I like the look of the autometer one, especially after seeing Jlow's one on the dash strip.
Should I get one in bar or psi?

Anyone use autogauge boost gauge's?

I think the autometer ones only come in psi flavour. Different car forums seem to have a preference for either psi or bar, on here it seems to be bar so it might be advantageous to go this route.

I am happy with mine, looks good and is reasonably accurate compared to my avc-r.

I have to say, despite the many criticisms aimed at the TIM brand, mine was fine for the two years I owned it. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

was that in your saxo? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

No it was on willy chin. He really used to hop on boost <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

autometer is nice... have on on bar.. lights are the same as the coop.. nice install!

cheers

Anyone tryed a Swoosh gauge? Looks very standard.

The Swoosh gauge looks good too, has anyone used that or the Autogauge boost gauge?

I have a autogauge one fitted currently, seems to be quite good but ive managed to get my hands on a white faced autometer one to match my dials <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

You could kill two birds with the one stone and install an EBC that displays boost! I'm going for a GReddy in the air-vent position see here

Fine looking install there davidub!
Rachtech boost gauge like mine too.

That particular install courtesy of Allystew! However, I'll have a similar one by this time next week <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Cheers for the plug David <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />. Darren like I said in PM I have Racetech. Used in rally cars as its excellant quality and reads to 2.5 bar, so is in FCCUK friendly bar reading. Also matches standard gauges perfectly.

i love the one pininn has got i might get that one,its like a mirour when its of so i can do my makeup,

Jayell,

where did you get this boost gauge from?
[just checked their website, saw all options, was rather confused with bezels...]

no prices though!

cheers

BTW, what do ppl think about the Mocal Aeroquip that Demon tweeks offer?
They are not as expensive as all things DT offer (only 28.49) and I'm worried it's crap! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Looks rather stock and simple, I like it a lot.

'ere

cheers

Got it in mine and no problems with it
In the tipo before
In the coupe

This thread has turned into... "show us yer boosties" <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Well it would be rude not to...

Like this for when I apply lippy

..and this when I'm off to the chippy !

cheers Begbie,

I'm afraid I'm going to buy that then <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

btw, did you have a chance of checking weights and shipping costs for the other stuff?

I've switched from an autogauge (wich I couldn't read at daylight) to a Mocal (wich is much better in that respect). The thing is that it allways reads some vacuum even if I'm at idle. It does seem to read accurately at 1.2.

Is this normal??
