check out that item , im thinking about getting it. How do i hook one up though?. I already have The pods that hold them, i just need to know the correct wires , and how to fish them up there. Anyhelp would be appreciated.

Dont get that, buy an Autometer. They are guaranteed to be correct

autometer , how much they cost?

[Talon007]

Call your local parts store. I live in Canada, so who knows how much they go for wherever you live

I got my Autometer Phantom Boost guage for about $65.

get a greddy. It reads in bar, but anything past the 2bar is red, so it could be used as a warning point to where you want to avoid if you are boosting under that. I have one, I'm happy with it. But tend to cost a bit more than the autometers...

Why would you want a guage that reads in BAR , anyway.... I'm used to the psi system , which is why I snatched the tiny BAR guage out of the WRX and installed my Autometer....

Exactly, its a little late if you spike to 30psi

And BAR licks balls anyways

Did I say to boost 29lbs ? Hold on, let me go back and read what I said.............................................. .................................................. .......nope, nothing about boosting that high, just something about the how the Greddy reads.

[RockinWRX]

Sounds like to me, if you hit the red, your in trouble


I thought 1bar equalled 14.7psi, but I could be wrong. I'll ask my VW buddy, hes all about bar

Your right. 1bar is around 14.6-7. Red doesn't appear until the 1.5 bar. Sorry for the mix up. There is no way in hell I want to pull pasty that on pump gas. Maybe on C-16, but on pump...hell no.
