Fitting boost guage
« on: 13 November 2008, 15:02 »
Been looking at the SWG boost guage and air vent pod. Does anyone know how easy they are to fit?

Boost gauges are easy to fit, you need to decide whether you want to sense boost at the compressor outlet or at the inlet manifold after the throttle plate (ie how much the engine is actually seeing).
Then just splice in a pressure hose at the required position.

fitted one to my old mk4 turbo realy easy to do
you get instrutions with it and it wires into the car loom
so you dont need to cut any wires
