After reading of a few people being down on power........

I've got a boost gauge fitted but does that tell you enough to know if most things are working OK ?

If not it looks like a trip to the rollers for piece of mind.

Mark,

How are you? What boost gauge did you fit? I've just got my Defi gauges installed and am V.pleased!!!

A Boost gauge will only tell you about Boost (obviously) and not a lot else but this is quite important in itself (and judging by the results on Saturday @ PE, would be a good indicator of whether or not a car down on power is boost related or not....)

You would need a Knocklink to monitor Det, Lambdalink/AFR/EGT gauge to monitor the fueling....

An intake Temp monitor would also help monitor the charge temp which helps when using the Knocklink and fuel monitoring.

Matt
