Boost gauge

[mk2dk]

Hi all
Today I've fitted a boost gauge to the Connect, mostly because I had it lying for years. Made a test drive and it seems to be working fine.
Boost is coming in fast and peaking at 1.10 to 1.20 bar, does that sound ok for a 2003 1.8 TDCI 90HP ? Don't know how precise the gauge is, it's definately not the most expensive

Have you any pictures of the install please mate?

Thanks

My 06 TDCI is blowing a tad over 2 bar but not at full load, your gauge maybe is set so atmospheric pressure shows zero
so atmospheric pressure @ aprox 1 bar + your 1.10 - 1.20 charge pressure = 2.10 ish
Thats OK

Picture from the garage, instrumet ligths on. Think the gauge is ment for a petrol engine, since it has a negative boost area below 0. The Connect never has negative boost, as it dosn't have a throttle butterfly as a petrol engine. Night time driving it looks really nice

The gauge has boost one way and vacuum the other (negative boost as you call it) depending on how you plumb it in N
