Boost Gauge

  Top of Page

Hey all,

I'm thinking that my sister in law has bought me a boost gauge for a chrissy present that I'm getting tomorrow (She thinks I don't know) and I was wondering where you guys have them mounted?? On dash near the right vent, or down near the steering column somewhere?

Not really wanting to put it on the A pillar.
(if you have a photo, would you mind putting it up if you think it's in a good spot??)

Also

Is the easiest way to install it to T off the left intake manifold hose, and use the spare male plug in the steering column to do the wiring up? (Yes, I read the post about it but couldn't find any photos)

Cheers

Is that on the dash next to the A Pillar? (Near that windscreen vent on the front dash right side?)

Yeah, ended up putting it in today there.

Was a bit of a mission with the crappy hose they supply (Too damn short), but it's all in.
When I can be bothered to go and get another piece of hose from the shops, I'll fix it all up then.

My wife walked down and said ' oh, check out that fully sick think on your dash...."
Soo wanted to punch her smile, but can't punch pregnant women apparently smile

wife basher...lol joking mate... take a snap of it.  should have plenty of hose even with the stock one as the best place to T in is at the black box on the right side and then go through the rubber above the clutch pedal..

Unfortunately, any gauge above the dash line is illegal. I had one there for a little while

Decided to go in the air vent instead. Muuuuuch better wink

If you look at it, you'll see it. I believe you'll have the same problems with a pillar mount. Being if you want to see it, you'll look at it.

Interesting, huh.

Pillar mount = above dash line
Therefore:
A pillar = illegal


If it works for you, Jov, great. I was giving the OP another example of where to mount gauges

I teed it off the manifold (the left hose)

Is that alright? Is it going to cause any issues if I've done that?

Won't get any pics up till later this week.

An unlicenced idiot reversed into my car.

I pay insurance for a reason and prefer to buy me cars in a driveable state. So I got it fixed.

Glad you brought that up. Extrememly relevant.


Nothing wrong with dash gauges. It's gauges above the dash line (ie, on the A pillar) that are illegal.

I don't make up the rules. I'm just informing those who are asking.
