Fitting a turbo boost gauge?

(1/2) > >>

stuntman:
Hello again everyone, can anyone tell me the best way to fit a turbo boost gauge to my 200 tdi disco?

I'll be strating to make a gauge panel for the roof in the near future and I'll be putting in, Oil temp, Oil pressure, Voltmeter, Ammeter, Ambient temp gauge, Possible an Econometer if I can adapt the one I have in the garage, I'm just a bit uncertain as to where the boost gauge would go!

Thanks in advance

Disco Matt:
I wouldn't mind knowing this either - plus does anyone make a sensible gauge for a Disco? I've had a nose through the Demon Tweeks catalogue but they all seem to be aimed at vehicles using rather higher pressures!

extreme90:
ive got one in my 90
ive got the pipe plumbed in at the inlet manifold so i get a true inlet pressure, not a false pressure from down at the turbo
also, my guage is a TIM unit that goes upto 2bar pressure ( i needed a high pressure one as i run way over a bar of boost )
cos me 35 quid from halfrauds

Bulli:
they come with half decent instructions ...thankfully lol though a roof pod might be a long run as its a copper pipe on all the ones ive seen ;)

Sharpshooter:
I Have one fitted on mine. I have a 200tdi with Full width Allisport intercooler, ITG air filter and the mods as specified by Allisport. Mine is from Ebay. It was £20. Goes up to 2 bar. Although they only recommend going to 16psi which is just over 1 bar (14PSi). Mines been tested and is just over 150BHP.  :twisted: I have mine plumbed in on the turbo actuator. I have spoken to lots of people, and ive been told this is fine.  :P

Although im probably completely wrong, and what i say is complete rubbish.  :roll:

But Allisport siad mines fine. So i guess they know what they are on about.  :D
