Thanks for the video. I did a install on my gti a while back but now doing it to my a4 this is easier to follow than the forums 😅

If I had access to a 3D printer I probably would have tried to print it myself as well.

all of the cons appear to be buying a local economy low end gauge. I like the pod option as well as the crimp connections because in my older years as a mechanic hose clamps simply do not cut it for the professional install going to go with a Stewart gauge for my nephews A4
@KeirBriscoe Жыл бұрын
Yes, good point on the Cons. I'm also really happy with the pod I chose. A bit more work than other options due to the 3D printing. The benefits of buying the local economy gauge are: Supporting a local business, having it immediately (in Canada Amazon shipping is Sloooooooow), The rattle sound in the gauge is typical of mechanical gauges no not an issue with mine specifically. I totally agree with your opinion on hose clamps. The crimp clamps may be more work, but they look professional. I just checked out the Stewart gauges. They look great. Simple design, with no flashy logos or strobing colours.

Picked up single ear clips from harbor freight for $12.99 turns out I bought the tool about 30 years ago been sitting in my tool box ever since USED to remove and re use these oem clamps during repairs to save on time getting hose clamps which look amateurish. Same reason I solder connections and shrink wrap them instead of using wire connectors . professional job.

To nie jest prawidłowe podłączenie przewodu . To mierzy podciśnienie w silniku przy zamknietej przepustnicy lub nadciśnienie przy maksymalnym otwarciu przepustnicy.

Yes, that's what a turbo boost gauge does. It measures the pressure of the air going into the cylinders. But if you know a better place to put the sensor pick up then please enlighten me.

@@KeirBriscoe I'm not an expert, but it seems to me that the hose connection should be before the throttle. Regards.

@@gdariusz4914 This is the correct area to locate it. Many people tap off the hose fitting that goes between the intake manifold and the PCV, but Ive heard horror stories of the plug screws getting sucked into the cylinders. Positioned where it is it shows vacuum when there is high engine RPM and a closed throttle. If the gauge does not indicate a low enough vacuum at idle it is an indication of an air leak somewhere along the path from the turbo. Cheers!

I bout a 2006 a4 sline 2.0t 6 speed with a boost gage and it peaks at 15 holds around 14 is that stock boost or US that tuned up I've been trying to research it but can't find an answer
@KeirBriscoe Жыл бұрын
Stock boost is around 7-8 psi. My APR stage 1 tune gives me 15 psi so I would assume you have a tune of some sort applied to the ECU.

Hey so great video just what I was looking for,so for the defrost vent gauge I love! What would be the size boost gauge that fits that type 52mm? I just don't want to buy the wrong size,I appreciate any help on this before I order it
@KeirBriscoe2 жыл бұрын
It’s funny how different manufacturers will call the gauge 52, or 50, 2.05 inches. In my experience they are all the same size. But to be certain reach out to the Ido3Dprints guy. He would know for sure. I put a piece of gorilla tape on my gauge to shim it into place. The gauge by itself was a wee bit loose.

What type of adapter did you use..? Is there a link I can use..
@KeirBriscoe Жыл бұрын
I'm not sure what adapter you are asking about. I built my own adapter that taps into the intake manifold. And I wired directly to the headlight switch.
