Yea good point, looks like ill have 2 go for a m-jet
It all depends on your mileage and your budget on tuning. I'm sure peter will be bringing out some nice tuning packages for the T-jet. The revs and sound more than make up for it!
Just wondered what they looked like i no you cant do car shot because your doing it weekend thats if i read right. just wonder what they look like really. Where you putting them?
They should be getting fibreglassed into the compartment in front of the gearstick with a slight angle towards the driver. The installation of the gauges and senders themselves (oil pressure and boost) will be done tomorrow but the fibreglassing will be done whenever I can get somebody to do it.
the gauges are just 52mm (pretty standard size) with a white face. Just type oil pressure gauge or boost gauge into google images and you will see what i'm talking about.
You gone for normal ones or digital. That will look great.
Thanks for the quick reply.
hopefully i'll be doing the same in the stilo minus the boost of course
The same but on my punto

we have the gauges :slayer:
ive got AFR and oil pressure
kris has got boost and oil pressure
I'm looking forward to seeing these gauges
Coyle, have you bought a wideband lambda sensor to go with the AFR gauge? My understanding is that AFR gauges only give genuine readouts when wired into a wideband lambda (correct me if I'm wrong )

well ive looked online, and haven't come across this wideband lambda?
all i have learned.. it gets wired on tho the signal wire on the lambda...
but im no pro...

Yep, the best reading comes from a wideband sensor, but its not essential yet as no proper tuning has taken place

Splices into the lamda in the exhaust before the cat.
I haven't had a very productive morning. Gauges can't be fitted until wednesday and fibreglassing can't be done until next weekend.
I'm still contemplating a pillar gauge pod as the airbag in the 'A' pillar is a blanket over the windscreen rather than a full blown 'bag' so to speak

I think your very wise installing guages after all these reports of blown turbo's you can't be too carefull .

You really never can be too careful.I think your very wise installing guages after all these reports of blown turbo's you can't be too carefull
could do with a smoke-o-meter!!
you will notice no difference what so ever in your turbo life even if you have guages, i noticed no loss until the split second the turbo died. I'll tell you now, it's not a nice feeling.
Unless you can forsee the future... guages are more of a cosmetic accessory.

this is why you have gauges they notice things before you do. you wouldn't notice you car over heating before your temperature gauge did would you
Why would you want a temp guage in your turbo?
:yeahthat:
Or your oil pressure being low. Gauges are there for the reason that you can monitor things you can't normally see or feel.
temp guage on the turbo eh?
who said any thing about a temp gauge on a turbo? it was an example of how a gauge can let you know something you wont spot your self

unless you got a stilo then the low oil pressure warning appears when its too late

btw you can get temp gauges for turbos.
