fit a boost gauge.. about £80 from ScoobyMania.. dead is to fit to get it working.. the electrix to get it lighting up when you turn your lights on might be a bit more tricky if your not into stuff like that.
think you'll be should/be doing DOING a steady 12/13psi

If the MY01 is anything like my MY99 then the boost target is 14.5psi Well, it was before Doctor Rawle sorted it

PSI3 s.e.c.s. unit or a boost gauge will become a useful monitoring tool

Thumbs up

Thanks all...

Sounds like I may have to invest in a gauge then.

Martinl - I'm in Sydney so I may have to source something a bit more local ;-), cheers for the offer though.
