Where do I get a new boost gauge

Postby rtn » Sat 12.02.2005, 11:16

Looking to replace the current boost gauge as it goes right of the dial. Im wanting 1 which will show more boost, it needs to slot straight in with no fitting problems. <br><br>How easy are they to fit?

These guys are really good, they shoudl be able to either repair it or refit the facia to a new gauge so it keeps the original look.

Did me one for a TVR a few years ago for about £30.

Does it go off the dial because you are running more than 1 bar boost because the car is modified (MBC and FCD or BBR kit perhaps) or because the gauge is faulty? If the former I suggest you wind the boost down to 1 bar or so as you are asking a lot from your turbo if you regularly run over 1 bar of boost. If you suspect the gauge then as a start check the boost transducer, LH side of engine bay grey or orange/brown rubber covered blob with a vacuum pipe to the plenum. A poor earth on this is a known issue that gives funny boost readings.
