my new gauges

Here are pics of my gauges as promised.

Thanks to Joe (csipsd) for the gauges!

from left to right:

coolant temp, oil pressure, oil temp





top to bottom is:

fuel pressure, exhaust back pressure, boost, pryo





Went out and hit the freeway just so I could open it up and test out the drive pressure gauge.

Looks like my drive pressure is @ about 1.25:1 WOT the boost gauge @ 30psi and the DP creeped up slowly to 37-38psi.

Looks good! I have a couple of cheapos under the dash and have considered doing something with them. What is the round **** next to your wait to start light?

that drive pressure is awesome, 1 to 1 is perfect, your ratio is about as good as it will ever get im guessing. Although more fuel may raise that?

They are called OEM match gauges The colors should match perfect once I replace the bulbs in the dash and climate control panel with LED's.

It was a manual GP button

More fuel should not increase it from what I understand. It is a measurement of your manifold/up pipe/downpipe/turbine efficiency. I don't plan on more fuel anyways, just a race comp wheel.
