Fitted gauge for gauging all my boosts.

[Stanley]

Mr Postman delivered my present to myself today so I set about fitting it.

Wired up the lamp in it so it illuminates at the same time as the clocks. It lit up yellow which I didn't like so painted the bulb red and now fits in better.

I need to get a piece of trim to go around the gauge itself and fill in the gap around the side, but otherwise quite happy with it. Only a cheapy gauge but looks areet!

Now, what 'should' a remapped AGU with decat and induction kit boost at? Is 16/17psi normal? Also vacuum is -25 on idle.

You can get a replacement vent for that if it is the same size as Westles... Look on Westles build thread and you will see it mate... I don't know how to post the link

This is what you want mate

16-17psi sounds perfect for a mapped AGU with a decat

Always handy to have a guage, very handy for instantly spotting a problem, but it also makes you paranoid, as if you find yourself 1-2psi down on boost, you feel compelled to go hunting for the cause!

where did you get that gauge cecil? and the insert?

Look on Westles progress thread S1LFH it's on the first page mate...

I saw those housings but that means parting with more money. I have a sheet of carbon fibre I will use as a surround tomorrow

The gauge was an eBay jobbie for about £40. I went for that one because it matched the interior and standard dials quite well.

how much was the vent insert Westle? and where from?

Had some carbon fibre going spare so made a wee surround for the gauge. Looks far better i think!

 

[Westy]

Nice work, that looks much better than being wedged between the fins on the vent

My mate is about to buy a big sheet of carbon fibre to do his M3 boot floor and footwells. I might pinch what he has left to do a plate for a double DIN to single DIN headunit conversion
