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.

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
