Gauge positions

Postby Enright » Tue 28.02.2006, 01:13

Has anyone tried swapping the positions of the oil pressure and boost gauges? I had a look under the cover, but the pipe to the oil pressure one looks a bit too solid for easy relocation.

The boost guage may be perfectly situated for our continental cousins, but I find it to be too far out of the field of view and away from the rev counter to be useful. Yesterday while accelerating hard, but concentrating on controlling boost creep, I almost ran into the back of the car that I was supposed to be overtaking! :shock:

It's difficult to keep your eye on the road, rev counter AND boost gauge when everything is happening so quickly. :?
Striking fear into the hearts of duplicate posts everywhere...! :P

keep the eyes on the road, run an ElanScan datalog capture while driving and then check the boost behaviour later while relaxing with your ale. it's a fun gauge for the passenger not something to dwell on . . .
