Thread: Best Boost Gauge for Turbo

Did you use that 10% off code? A wideband will be my next gauge purchase. Oh and it looks really frigging cold there!!

It does do peak over the entire drive or until you reset it. The only reason mine wasn't higher was because I just started the car and it's loosing it's memory because the constant power isn't actually constant for some reason.

yeah I used the code, thanks a bunch. For the past few weeks it's been -20 to -40 celcius (about -4 to -40 fahrenheit), keep getting about 6 inches of snow every week.

I ran the power right from the battery, you have an r-spec so that means strut tower brace, thats the easiest and cleanest method of wiring across the compartment.
I was pretty sure I took a full pic of my engine bay but apparently not.

@Preston
here's where I finally chose to tap in, things are a bit hectic right now for me to do a full walkthrough.
My whole mangled mess of an adapter, it's a 3/4 line, so if you go this route you'll need to go from 3/4 to 5/32 (the GlowShift piece). I didn't trust the crappy nylon tube to be very durable so I upgraded it to a 5/32 braided tube for gas applications, and my threaded adapters have gas tape on the treads to help prevent leaks. Since I couldn't find 5/32 hose clamps, I placed a piece of 3/4 over the 5/32 and then clamped that. Works cause there are no leaks and I pressure tested it at work to 35psi.

hope this helps you, let me know if you need a bit more info. I suggest using your hood release firewall grommet to plumb it through, doesn't pinch even with 5 16gauge wires going through it. Tip to get it through without too much fighting, lube up the tube with vaseline and it'll slide right through, as it comes through wipe it clean so it doesn't muck up your car's interior.

gauge pod is now filled!
Bought a Volt and Oil Pressure gauge to fill the spots. Might buy Cp-e's pod to get the rest of the gauges I want but this will do for now.
Oil pressure gauge won't work untill I get my oil changed on the 5th bought an adapter with the new gauges so I didn't have to drill into my oil pan, will review once it's installed.
Pics this evening if I get the pod back in tonight!

Correct adapter if anyone is interested, don't know if it works for 380's.

Im working on a part that will make it easier to pull vacuum and boost sources from the motor.

where the pcv valve goes into the intake manifold there will be 2 or 3 nipples.

good to hear bout that adapter, hopefully it's 3/4 to 5/32 with a pressure notch.

took a vid of my gauges, don't laugh, first posted vid on the internet.

here is the first one! it turned out nice but the nipple placement needs to be changed for two of the nipples. there are three different size nipples that will come with the block plate since the diameter of the port plays a role depending on what the source will be used for (boost guage, BOV, meth, or water injection). there will also be small allen bolts to block off any nipples not being used. The black marks show where the nipples will be moved to so there arent any clearance issues.

its optional to buy just the plate but it will be up to you to route the pcv valve to a catchcan or it will come in a kit including a catchcan (still being worked on).

Damn that is some nice craftsmanship Rashaun! Good work
