MK2R32 0 Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Anyone know where i can aquire a good quality boost gauge that reads say upto 15psi max? Almost all the ones i've seen are for 30psi max. When running a relativly low boost say 6-7.5psi the dial would hardly move hence they'd be pretty inacurate and waste of time. The other way is possibly a digital one. Anyone any ideas?Cheers.

sparkz 0 Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Have you tried autometer guages? Thats what ive got in my s/c vr. Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I used one from Revotec.co.uk mainly because it says "Supercharger" on the guage, rather than "Boost" or "Turbo". Thought that was a nice touch. It reads to 20psi, which is also handy as that's the V9 charger's max boost IIRC. Link to post Share on other sites
Nerih 0 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 mine goes up to 15psi and its an autogauge one with black out when itsnot being used. it doesnt say boost or supercharger but shows vacuum too which is useful..(dunno what for ) Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderbird3 0 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I'm using the SPA Digital Boost + Temp. Gauge.(bought from Demon Tweeks)Seems very accurate, I could repeatedly hit 8psi at 7000rpm with my VF Stage 2 kit and now with Stage 3 it shows an indicated 10psi (+/- 0.2psi) at 7000rpm.I gave up with the mechanical type gauges because they were too noisy in operation and never seemed to show full boost, also i would be too busy watching the 7000rpm redline to see what the boost gauge read.With the SPA gauge you can just press a button to recall maximum boost registered.
