Greetings all,

My friend is looking for a Defi Boost guage for is Golf GTI. Problem is he is looking for one that shows PSI instead of bar. Is there anywhere in Australia that supplies them, and rough costing for them?

People have been asking rediculous pricing as apparently they are sourcing them from America?

Regards,

Matt

Hi Guys,

Ive got a defi PSI gauge in my car. I was lucky enough to have bought the gauge off a distributor in melbourne who sold his business and was selling off his stock on ebay. He gave me the choice of PSI or Bar.

I think his username was silverstone1956

I can only suggest you contact him via ebay and see if he can advise you where to get hold of one in Australia.

Hope this helps

I dont have a clue, i didn't even know that they made them in PSI until my mate was absolutely sure that they did. I am sure nowdays that they would cost quite a bit, so no point in getting one. He just wants it because i dont think he can read bar.

yeah they make pretty much the whole range of defi gauges in imperial measurements for the US market. like temp in fahrenheit, pressure in psi etc. tell him to get with the times. we have the metric system and as such don't read pressure in pounds per square inch. lol. kg/mm or bar is the way to go. :mellow:

but if he absolutely must have it then try US ebay.

:cool: "convert bar to psi".

Boost gauges are generally pretty inaccurate anyway and you rarely look at it. I would not pay much extra for psi personally.

What makes you say that? Id like to think they were pretty close to accurate if the reason for having it isnt just bling factor?

5 different people i know who have different brands of boost gauges (and my own car) have all had readings that have not been the same as when they were dynoed. I would like to think a dyno would be the more accurate of the two and in each case it was anywhere from 1-4psi different to the gauge in the cars.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
