Defi Guage

[kessian]

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

Also very very interested in this, I've heard of a sponsor on NS.com that used to sell them, but for the life of me I can't remember who...

from what i know, most japanese gauges only read boost in bar, which is why i use autogauge now (not the most stylish compared to jap ones but does the job)

as far as i know, genuine defi gauges only come in bar... you'd have to go for a different gauge... having said that, i love my defi boost gauge, it's really clear and has some cool functions...

I believe Defi made boost guages in PSI for the american market.

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

nice! makes sense considering the size of the US market... are they BF series guages or a different style?

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.

Yes they are in the BF series. The price shouldnt be much more than the BAR. Just got to find someone that stocks them.

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.

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

"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.
