1.4 T-Jet boost gauge

Has anyone else found the turbo boost gauge on the T-Jets instrument panel?
In the manual it states that its an oil pressure gauge?
If that is showing oil pressure then Im a monkeys uncle

Using the mode button on the dash, select Engine Info,
This brings up the so called in the manual "oil presure gauge"

If the oil presure goes up and down like that then Im in big trouble!

Hi Andy,
I do believe that the bars with the small turbo symbol in the centre display is the boost gauge, as you said if it was oil pressure that would be worrying going up and down like it does
How are you finding your new Bravo, i have looked out for your car on the road but haven't seen it just yet.

My Tipo has an oil pressure gauge and it goes up and down with revs.

Re: 1.4 T-Jet boost gauge

It is a Turbo Boost Gauge, NOT an oil pressure gauge.
In the Bravo t-jet that is, not your tipo hellcat

Re: 1.4 T-Jet boost gauge

Yes, it's obviously a Turbo boost guage as it has a picture of a turbo by it!

It comes under the "First Screen" option, and is designated as "Engine Info".

Re: 1.4 T-Jet boost gauge

I have my boost gauge on all the time now, it far more entertaining than the date! As for how Im getting on with it, Bluebravo, I think is fantastic
Beautifully screwed together, fabulous to drive and stunning to look at.
I go to work at 5.30am and come home around 6pm, the car spends all day in my works car park, probably why you have not seen me mate.

Re: 1.4 T-Jet boost gauge

Does the T-Jet 120 have all that or just the 150 model? And would turbo boost let me jump over lorries and bridges? ;-)

Other-wise drugs can have same effect i believe...
