Default just tested prosport boost gauge & quiery on boost

just tested out my newly fitted prosport boost gauge & wow what a peice of kit the gauge is so smooth & instant & lit up red looks great at night, ive not had a boost gauge fitted since installing a polar performance chip & now after fitting the new gauge ive used the recall peak boost button & im getting 18psi, is this what im running as i thought the chip was 16.6 psi or has it logged slight overboost?

other factors / mods may be helping produce slightly more boost ie if your running a frount mount intercooler...

1.2 bar is safe

the mods i have are a apexi power intake, tsl group n back box & decat centre section, bailey bov, when fitting the polar chip i had bad misfire at high boost & narrowed it down after installing new plugs it was the old tired coil packs so replaced 2x coilpacks which sorted it out & the power increase now is unbelivable & still got 2 more coil packs to buy yet so this might also help

im quite happy with that then even if there is slight overboost, very impressed with this recall button, is it possible to set that boost manually to warn me now when i touch it? cheers oh forgot to say im running on tesco 99 & this chip was based around esso 97 i think

My prosport boost gauge reads about 0.1 bar over what the map sensor says, so it's possible that it's your gauge that is over reading a bit as well

There will be instructions on how to set the gauge to warn you when you hit a certain boost level. Not got mine to hand at the moment but its definately in there somewhere

It's quite simple:

1. Hold the button down for a couple of seconds and the needle will move to the current warning level.

2. Release the button and then press it down again and the needle will start moving. When it gets to where you want it, let go of the button and wait for about 10-15 seconds and the gauge will "reset" to normal operation and have the new warning level set.

If you go past your desired warning level, keep holding the button as the needle will go to the top and then come back down again.
