Gauge will move up as you create boost and dip as you change gear. It wont just jump to 1.5 bar and sit there.

yeah i know but when your putting your foot down it seems to be jumpy, about what should a standard 01 WRX be boosting at cos mine maxes out at 0.5 Bar

It should boost just under 1 bar if you look at the technical section im sure ive read about other gauges doing the same and they ended up missing some sort of filter type thing which is what caused this

get a decent gauge matey, try an electrical one with a sender unit like a defi stepper generic copy.

Alternatively have you got a little filter fitted in the boost line somewhere? most decent boost gauges come with one that stops the "fluttering"

sedge69

iTrader: (11)

no it hasnt got a filter in the line.

gonna look on ebay for a decent gauge me thinks

Neither! If you haven't got Defi money, which over-read slightly, get something that has a reputation - not over priced crap.

These are very nice, a tad pricey, but very astetically pleasing.

sedge69

iTrader: (11)

just realised the link goes to the home page, click on accessories and scroll down to the restrictor t piece. I cut the restrictor nipple off and put inside the vacuum line going to the gauge.

Phone harvey smith, he does the stack gauges and very well priced. Ive had one in the garage for a year,

Note to self; to fit gauges...

right ive had another go and fitted into the manifold vacuum line, seems to work better but it now reads -0.5 bar when i turn the engine on. is this right?

by the way im still gonna get a new one, think it might be this one

dunno which one yet

Yes that is fine, '-' is vacuum, as opposed to '+' which is boost. It should rise to 0 (ish) with a blip of the throttle.

sedge69

iTrader: (11)

dunno going out in a minute, will find out then..

sedge

Glowplug

iTrader: (8)

Let us know.

sedge69

iTrader: (11)

It did as you said When i blip the throttle it goes up to 0(ish) and it shows it boosting right up to 1 bar now. But still hot the annoying buzz and the needle shakes

Still getting a decent one though cos the colours annoy me. It scrolls through 7 colours
