[Mk2] [Turbo] Boost Gauges. Paying for the name?

For example looking at apexi gauges they are £90+ new. My question is why? Would the gauge below get the job done and give an accurate reading? If so l know what im buying lol.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] rev 1 temp guage problems

Good chance its your thermostat mate a common problem. Basically it doesnt close enough to keep the water up to temp when on the move. Only about £20 from toyota so might as well change it as you will need to bleed the system anyway.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Quietest Exhaust

Out of interest how restrictive is just the standard backbox when the rest is a full 3" system? Thats what l plan with mine anyway to keep the noise down.

Also the tail pipes are slighty larger on the turbo

[Mk2] [Turbo] 1.0 bar boost setup

With the below setup is it better to use cold grade Spark plugs? If so which should l go for?

Apexi air filter
Rouge downpipe (Standard downpipe back)
1.0 Bar boost on manual boost controller

Berk Tech intercooler at a later date

Thanks for any advise :D

[Mk2] [Turbo] Limited boost in 1st and 2nd?

Read this a couple of times now so what is the boost pressure in 1st and 2nd on a standard rev 3?

If you fit a boost controler does this limited boost still apply?

Re: Turbo mpg on track?

Now that l think about it even if the £80 l put in mine was £1 per litre that would give me 10.8 mpg to the 190 miles. To be fair though at mallory you are at WOT for alot of the track.
