How to tell boost? Get a gage I guess... Posted by Drew in Houston [Email] (more from Drew in Houston) on Sat, 26 Jun 2004 06:27:28

My boost gauge never ever gets into the Red. It goes right to the edge, and then stays there until red line, just like stock gages---but that's a derived indicator of the boost level, relative to whatever scale the ECU decides-upon, right?

It crossed my mind that I might install a real genuine gage somplace. But actually, the gage I was thinking about installing was an A/F setup. Maybe I should do both...

What are other people doing with 9-3 boost measurement? The proplem I have is that I'd prefer to not make my car interior look like some scene out of Fast N Furious with a bunch of gages popping out of everywhere. Glovebox mount maybe?
