boost guage? rev counter? mph?
when boosting , who looks at what ?? do u watch psi on boost gauge? speed mph? or rev counter? :thumb:
|
Normaly I look at the road ahead of me when on boost lol

always a good idea, I find it keeps insurance premiums down. I mean the idea of a boost gauge is to view it under boost conditions, but also rev counter to avoid hitting the limiter area. so my question is what display do u look watch during a sprint run in 1st and 2 nd say..

I also put a second boost gauge in to help keep a eye on things while on the track:thumb: |
Boost gauge is only there to spot a problem with over or under boost, you don't really need to keep watching it.

Best to have boast gauge which will at least beep when you hit targeted boost(many gauges can have set beep)
RPM too you can set,this depends on the car,but you can go route of the RPM flash light,which will flash/blink,I think you can wire to the existing loom on the speedo or ECU When we run gauges everything has been complicated with watching every gauge,Toucan has changed this and massively improve this too,but we are run too Race Technology Dash2 Jura |
indeed I got a pro sport boost gauge which allows me to set the alarm to go off, but I also notice the engine check light tends to flash at around 7000, this does worry me as car was mapped by a well known mapper and car seems very healthy in terms of boost and good low down torque. as said eyes on road is defo the way to go !!. gadgets can be a distraction .

Simtek ecu flashing at high rpm with be the shift light, its a feature not a problem. Your mapper will confirm if that is correct or wrong but I'm sure you don't have a problem

thank u guys for your input. as they say if in doubt give it a clout or is it flat it out.
