Get gauges that could save your engine:-

- Knock (KS3/4)
- Boost
- Oil pressure
- Fuel pressure
- Oil temp

Sure.

But didn't you have the correct boost BEFORE you changed 'em over?

If so, you must be kicking yourself, as now you've got to delve into some annoying/frustrting investigative work to get your boost back!

yes and no, i had a split ic pipe and my wastgate was pulled tight shut. so new ic pipe on and to much boost because of the actuator ajustment. i decided to change the vac pipes as they had seen there day as they would on a 13 year old car.

For me, what's worth the purchase price of the KS3, is the fact that it gives off an audible chime when it hits the knock threshold!

Thumbs up

Sure bat - I knew that's what you were getting at.

But if he is gonna get a knock warning device, the KS3/4 is arguably the best... He'll then just have to get another, different gauge for the leftover pod space!

And it with the jack as well weigh alot more than a can of tyre weld and a small compressor

Can't fault ya on the KS3, like Joz said its an engine saver

Boost controller, i've got one attatched to the end of my right leg Don't always work as it should tho

How far you want to go, re?

Think you might just even it out if you've got a decent ICE install

I prefer to listen to the boxer bass
