Jamesy Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 got it thro the post today - managed to just unplug the vac hose from the old knackered one and plug in to my new one!! Took it for a quick spin up the road and i seem to be running at 0.8 - 0.9 BAR which i think i read is just right ?? only thing i havent managed to do is wire in for the lighting......because i dont have a clue how to - will any garage be able to do this? well chuffed to have the boost gauge working now...... now onto the rest of the BPU!!

hadyn Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Sounds like you're running just the right boost for a car with both cats in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 what happens after bpu ... will my boost go up to about 1.2 BAR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Well done mate, vital piece of kit. Wiring for the backlight is a 5min job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_TT Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Once you take the cats out your car will boost over 1.2 bar. You will need to fit a restrictor ring which will have the car boosting at about 1.2 bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 I couldn't find a blitz or HKS boost gauge for my 52mm holder, so i have gone for a Type R one which probably isn't the most regconised but its a silver bezel with silver background and blue numbers so matches my interior a treat!!!! (needle shows just under 0 on the pic but once i installed it, its sitting fine ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
