I have asked this before and nobody seems to be able to give me an answer I can easily understand ( I am dim )
How do I hook the standard boost gauge up with my microtech.

You need to run the standard boost gauge from the factory MAP sensor. Darkelf still runs the standard boost gauge and MAP sensor.

But I would ditch that factory gauge and just put a nice mechanical boost gauge in there Daz. Just grab yourself a 2" or 52mm gauge and it will look factory and will be more accurate.

You could then sell the JD map sensor which would easily cover the cost of the boost gauge.

Gauge

Post by Jesusdroveawestfield »

Cookie, I have an aftermarket gauge already installed in a spare intrument cluster. I guess I will just hook that back up. Only goes to 15psi though :(
Maybe I will reinstall it tonight. My factory gauge at the moment has a very neat little green LED installed into its face which illuminates when my water injection is activated. Very neat.

*Shakes head*.. you and your little lights. :)

If you bring your car around or next time Im at your place I'll whip the multimeter out and make sure you've got power to your MAP sensor and it's all hooked up right.

Shouldn't be a problem getting it working.

I took out my instruments tonight and am halfway through reinstalling the dash with the aftermarket boost gauge......my little LED is now mounted in the dash just below the boost gauge and above the warning light cluster........I love my little lights remember Cookie my father did say
" I am the light of the world" :lol:
I need more lights though Cookie maybe I could get one of those 5 inch tachos with those incremental shift lights..............sick.
