*P3nfold* 0 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I am looking at this gauge to match my boost gauge but have no idea if I need 0-5 bar or 0-10 bar and if I need any other accessories? Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 You need a 10 bar gauge and a 10 bar twin pole sender with 10x1 thread pitch and 0.5 bar low pressure switch. Getting a twin pole means you keep the stock low pressure warning light on the dash too Link to post Share on other sites
*P3nfold* 0 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Ouch that sounds expensive but its needed. I will look on demon tweeks. Thanks Lukey. Link to post Share on other sites
*P3nfold* 0 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Had a look on ebay found a great deal on the sender and gauge but not sure on where to get the 0.5 bar low pressure switch? Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 the senders come with different low pressure warning points built in, you just need to get the correct one.i got mine from here http://www.etbinstruments.com/index.htm rang the man up and he asked me what low pressure point i needed, 0.5 being the lowest you can get.Just had a look at my receipt, no its not cheap, the sender was £50, i looked for a part number but it didnt list one Link to post Share on other sites

*P3nfold* 0 Posted August 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Hey Luke is there a reason why it the sender has to be as low as 0.5 bar?The reason I ask is that I have found one that is at 12psi - 0.8 bar for good money as in cheap lol. I found that chap and you are right its expensive.Will this effect the low pressure sensor for the ecu? Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 The stock low pressure is 0.2 bar, I think if it's nearer one it may trigger unnecessarily if the pressure went a bit low, that's the only reason Link to post Share on other sites
*P3nfold* 0 Posted August 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Thanks Lukey. Umm gives me some food for thought. There quite a difference between 0.2 - 0.5 - 0.8 bar.I just need to find some where thats cheaper as £50 + VAT + P&P is expensive in my view. Link to post Share on other sites
