Yeah I was thinking of putting it there in the corner of the windscreen, but I just didnt like it over there, so just ran a tiny bit more tubing and wiring and whacked it on the steering column and prefeered it there so left it there.

Mine doesnt have a cup or anything, just the boost guage with a single bit of normal sticky tape holding it down :) very proffessional look :P

I'll go get a gauge holder for it, one day..... :(

Where have ppl picked up boost from on inlet man.? I was thinking of picking up from brake booster vac line.

(what he said) :(

There is an unused nipple on the back of the inlet plenum, it has a cover on it, series 1 anyway.

heres mine.. good old double sided tape from manufacturer

id rather ti be easy to pinch that have everything ripped apart

I like this thinking, but I don't like the idea of it flying off and hitting me in the head in an accident. A 2 5/8" mechanical gauge would be a pretty serious weapon... Ouch!

Tried to mount my boost gadge on the dash 2day with double sided tape and it wouldn't stay. So I sat it cup holder until I get time to make alu. bracket mounting from hand brake release. I really only hooked it up 4 tuning and to see what boost we r running after full 3" ex., K+N panel filter. I have got an R32gtst w/gate act. I am going to fit, so we will see if they hold 10psi then tune SAF-C. I will take gadge out once tuned. Go the Stagea!!!

Hijack alert... :thumbsup: I have started making some gauge pods for the Stagea which should be ready in early-mid Jan. Single pod and double pod to replace the clock and single pod at the base of the A-pillar. See THREAD HERE for more info.

i like the triple din cluster - are they the drift guages in the $175 kit...? can remember who theat was through.... looks good though.

Im lookin forward to mearcats guage holders, for where the clock sits.

I like it too, it's a shame you can't choose which guages you get when you order a Defi DIN-guage cluster, it would make it so much easier!

Not sure if those ones in that shot are the same ones, but Just Jap are doing AutoGuage packages as a group buy for that price...

:P The ones in Logans car are "drift" brand. Same diff, really, with the blacked out faces when turned off. I recently put three into a mates Exa -

They are a good looking guage, but im not sure of the accuracy on the Drift ones. I had a boost guage in my car for a lil bit, made some funny noises lol

you can't expect three gauges for $175 to be accurate... you'll pay easily more than that for one name brand gauge most of the time.

for example,I recently picked up three defi bf's to put into my stagea. water temp,oil temp, oil pressure and a controller II unit for $650.

will look good in the clock and pillar positions I expect.

Exactly, that's why I'd prefer to wait, save up, and get full electronic guages too. I love the Defi's, just wish I could afford them sooner (as well as all the other mods I wanna do). :P:laugh:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
