Title: boost gauge
Post by: navmk4gti on 19 August 2009, 16:50

can you fit any standard 52mm boost gauge on a mk4 AGU turbo with the standard fitting kits they come with.. or are there certain fitting kits needed??

yeah mine used to buzz!

Because there is so much pressure going through the pipe, sometimes the needle at high psi vibrates very quickly and makes a subtle buzzing noise! It is very common on boost guages  :wink:

Plenty on UKMKIVS I think. You may need to buy a gauge first though, I recommend the Newsouth one.
