Steve Cargill Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Adam, I can't help with the electrical side, but I put mine through the gromit blanking the hole for the clutch. http://www.cargills.demon.co.uk/supra/images/BoostGaugeBulkhead.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 For the hole in the bulk head...as you have an auto you can use the manual clutch resevoir's route through the bulk head. Basically behind the turbo's below and to the right of the brake resevoir you'll find a grommet in the bulk head. (doh - Steve got there first) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 If noone has been through that route before you will find a diamond shaped part cut out section in the underdash insulation, the grommit is on the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Kindness Posted May 28, 2002 Author Share Posted May 28, 2002 cheers! i'll go have a rummage just now!! does the 0.5bar sound right for a std twinturbo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin F Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 I would expect a bit higher than that, say about 0.7, 0.8bar. Try putting your foot flat to the floor in top gear going up a hill or incline and see what max boost is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Kindness Posted May 28, 2002 Author Share Posted May 28, 2002 Done Blitz - Yellow = +ve black = -ve still concerned with the low boost.... or is that as it should be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Kindness Posted May 28, 2002 Author Share Posted May 28, 2002 doh... didnt refresh!! its seems to get just over 0.5... but thats nailin it on a flat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Adam with the auto you will hit peak boost if you hit kickdown, or use the manual setting and go for it at WOT. Cool night air will give a high reading. Stock psi is said to be around 11 or just below 0.8 bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 I use to have the same Blitz Boost Gauge as Adam's fitted in my car in the very same position. I've just replaced it now for a 60mm one on the A-Pillar so the old one (12months) is going spare if anyone wants it. First to shout can have it for the cost of the postage.

FaithStalker Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 SHOUT if it will fit in the clock????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 Should I call you 'a' or 'Mr jefford' ? Yes the clock unit can be taken out and the boost gauge fits into the hole with no modifications required. See Adams photo. Contact me at: [email protected] with your address, etc. Nic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
