Want better MPG? Get a boost gauge and keep it below 5psi and reep the 65mpg+

How much would I be looking at for one roughly? Are they easily installed by hand. Or better too be done by a garage? Would of thought a Boost Gauge would of used more from the sounds of it lol??

Pen

Boost gauge is for measuring the charge pressure and can help identify if you have a problem / boost leak.  It doesn't use any fuel......

It just helps you monitor your boost and by keeping an eye on it below 5psi you can get some silly mpg.

I managed to fit mine  :laugh: :laugh:

Though I ran my boost line in via the door whereas the proper way is through the fuse box.  Also having an EGR delete pipe with the take off point for the gauge made it easier too  :smiley:

Ok on a standard engine where would it be taken from?
Is it a pain in the behind to get it through where the fuse box is?

Around the same place - basically the main EGR to intercooler pipe

No idea as I've never tried it myself
