Boost gauge positioning

[Nitephyre]

Meh, it's all I need... I don't want any blingy startup fanfare & neon lights, just a needle that tells me how much more I need to wind the MBC up

Oh, and I hope your dash is alright

 

[fieldy107]

lol, its not really alright but Ill get over it.

 

[Nitephyre]

Trev told me you ripped a big hole in it.... how bad? Also, it's installed now... hardest bit was routing the vactube For the moment, it's sitting in the change pocket

Hey Guys

Has anyone tried to put in GTR or GTiR triple gauges in. They sell for ~ $100 on ebay. It would look clean as they have black background vs the white from ralliart triple gauges.

I hope no one has asked this question before

 

[unclepaulie]

they only go up to 7psi. im sure you are goin to boost it past 7?



the other two are volts an oil temp btw.

I will answer my own question. After doing some research i found that VDO distributor / agent have solved this problem for somebody else by supplying half a kit that is suitable for our cars without the gauges and then the main unit connects to the GTR / GTiR gauges. I am rubbish at explaining myself so I hope it makes sense but that’s how they got it to work.

[unclepaulie]

ok, this might come out the wrong way, but here goes:


MATE! PLEASE use some proper english and some grammar, especially when asking a question.

i personally have no intention of answering a question when i can barely read it.


coz lyk, pr0pah grmmah iz dah kool, and this is directed at everyone, not just you. this isnt 4chan or boostcruising. theres a time and place for lolspeak.

True. I hate reading emails or messages which have poor spelling or the completely wrong word written/typed etc, even full stops and commars can make such a huge difference to how a piece of text is read and interpreted, and I've had many unnecessary arguments resulting from poorly written text.

Agreed. It just makes it easier for everyone to read and there is a higher possibility of people answering your question.

Installed my HDi EBC and boost guage over the weekend.

Few pictures of where I installed it.

 

[Poita]

This is where I put mine. Bought a spare A-pillar in case I need/want to return it to stock...

 

[lathiat]

I did exactly the same as above (same gauge cup!), but I used double sided tape (exterior mounting crazy stuff) and it's held up at least 2 months so far.. I did make it lean on the dash just though so removes how much weight is sitting on the actual tape.

 

[Poita]

I tried industrial double sided tape, only lasted a couple weeks of hot days...

 

[steveP]

I just used tiny screws, can barely see the holes and the gauge hasn't moved in 2 years.

 

[leggei007]

if u havent found a suitable place im in the process of making a gauge pod to hold no more than 3 where the clock goes on the top of the dash n i can supply the gauges too.... just let me know what ur after n i can also install them too
