Re: Boost gauge

Think i've sorted it, removed my old bodge effort of wiring on the sender unit and actually soldered it all up properly this time.

Big difference! Actually works as intended now :thumleft:

Re: Boost gauge

I'll check my wiring 2moro, had this problem for ages and gave up in the end because i couldn't fix it, but I'm going to have another go!

Where is the best place to T into for the gauge?

If it's not my wiring is it easy to check for leaks?

Boost gauge

Would a boost leak cause random readings on my boost gauge or is it my wiring? :oops:

Re: EMS Powered Boost Gauge - Issues

Just T-Pieced into the Map sensor, well i think it's the map sensor anyway, right side of the Inlet chamber (looking at the engine bay)

Reset ambiance to zero, started her up and gauge is reading -16/-18 PSI which i guess is normal?

After having this installed on my car for years, i'm still having issues and i can't put my finger on the problem. Constantly getting crazy readings, -35psi > +30psi. I've earthed all the connections together on the chassis, and even run an earth cable directly to the battery at the same point. Pret...

BoV not working

Rev 2 Turbo 205 charger cooler setup. HKS ssq BoV, dug out the BoV from under my AFM and noticed the little tubing that goes to the inlet manifold has split, seems springy still inside the BoV. Is it not working due to that split tube?

Re: Water Temp Gauge Issue

I'm no mechanic but from other posts i have read, it sounds like your thermostat could be sticking, or as you say just opening up. There is a thread on here on how to test it... just need to search for it.
