I just installed a VDO mechanical boost gauge. It works well although the response is not what I expected. I tapped into vac before the check valve (same source for BOV)
I'd like to illuminate the gauge but the CAN Bus system is making this difficult. Does anyone know a nice place to tap into 12vdc inside the cabin? Better yet, dimmer switch!
I may change the gauge to an electronic boost gauge and place the sensor somewhere in the engine bay so the boost reference distance is shorter. Thoughts?
Side note: I got around to testing the TQ booster kit. There is more tq with a 3.33 at altitude. I believe the wastegate spring is at 10 psi. I ordered an 11 pound spring to bring me back up to the same boost I was producing at peak RPM with a 3.6.
I logged the car and was happy to see that fuel and timing were within norm. NO know what so ever and the car was adding timing as needed. Peak timing at 7250 rpm was around 16-17 degs on 91 at 5500 ft elevation. Our fuel quality is decent her in Colorado. Car pulls like a raped ape! I may keep the car although everything is for sale at the right price. I've bitten the high horse power evo game recently.
