Boost gauge

Post by Drifter »

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

Boost leaks would cause incorrect readings.

Check your wiring - it can't be more than a couple of wires.

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?

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:
