some times it feels that the boost aint coming on nearly like a NA, sometimes it seems fine, the turbos sometimes dont seem to come online as they should,

so i thought id get a boost gauge, so i can visualize whats going on, and set the warning level at 1.1bar as my car is not decat etc,

has anyone fitted this type, any help guys

Thanks

Simon

Looks like you need to change one of the bulbs in it.

As for the fitting, looks like any other. Wiring is probably just permanent 12V, earth, ignition 12V live and a wire for illumination.

The sensor will just plumb into the vacuum lines as anyother gauge also. peak etc set from the control box.

If you have a manual then No.....auto yes, you can poke it throughthe firewall and into the drivers footwell

Bulb looks fine to me....make sure you get someone who knows what they are doing with electrics before wiring up, you dont wanna go popping fuses
