Got the boost gauge all but done. Heres a before picture of the pieces-parts. The test fit for vacuum and lighting was a success. Waiting for the gauge to dry in the mount and then install for good. I'll post a pic once the good camera is back and a night shot.

Went with the Revo Technica Rev2 w/ White LED. Boost to 30psi.

 

about time you bum

 

So what kinda numbers am I looking for on a stock 180FWD? 20-22inHg at idle. What about peak boost etc?

What should I see cruising 60mph in 5th?

Anytime I have something to monitor that is new to me I constantly worry that something is wrong. When I learned that you could watch engine temp on the HVAC thats all I did and stressed out constantly when it ranhigh(95-104degrees...) now I know thats normal.

Thanks.

 

itll be like 12in hg cold idle and 20in hg warm, should peak 11psi from ~2600-~5k and then fall to around 6-7psi. Crusing in 5th on the highway should be around 10in hg

 

So the finished product installed w/ the interior lights on. Good match to the TT cluster. Its a tad brighter than the cluster and the needle is more orange and not with a silver center. Oh well.



And the reward. PA beer and gut busting artery clogging fast food.

 

I usually sit around 16in Hg idle hot. 20-22in Hg during deceleration.

 

Perfect. Exactly what I wanted to know.

Now I can't wait to turn up the boost. I swear I'm not leaving H2O without a software upgrade. Revo vs GIAC. Depends who is there I guess.

 

I wouldnt be surprised if APR is there and does the buy 2 files get on free or something like that again also.

 

Looks good... i like how that gauge fulls out the vent a little more...

sweet job!
