From Audi 100 to urS4 in a week

Had to burst my bubble didn't you?

But on a serious note, thanks for the input. I have 2 speedos so I'll have a look into it and see what's what

Another way is to replace all 3 gauges with same style ones

I'm looking for a nice OEM boost guage install, but not sure where to place it. 2bar standard on the dash read out is interesting, with MTM mine readys upto 2.4, so glad to know it's doing something.

FYI: As soon as you change the MAP sensor in the ECU from 250 kPa to 300 kPa, the calibration of the in-dash OE digital "boost" gauge (actually more correctly an "Absolute Pressure in the intake manifold" gauge) is fubar'd. Useless other than a vague sense that you are making boost (over 1.01 kPa atmospheric absolute pressure).

I like my boost gauge (relative boost, with vacuum) location (see below). If replacing the clock with a boost gauge was easy, many many UrS owners would have done this ages ago. Truth is I know of one or two that have done it. Problem is those three gauges (including the clock) are NOT indiviual gauges. They are three faceplates that attach to a single printed circuit board. Replacing anyone of them with anything, e.g. clock for boost gauge, requires major circuit board surgery and wiring.

Done 2000 miles since 11th of October, so it's not sitting around much

You've never seen me wield a spanner

I can make even the quickest jobs last a day!

there should be enough info on here to make it easier.

I don't have much free time, so the idea of spending half a day pulling the dash out to fit a boost gauge isn't ideal. If rather fit one in a different position and spend the rest of the day driving.

It not that long to take out And to fit it in pillars or vent won't take less IMHO.

Yes, the clock would be ideal... Quite a bit too much work involved for me though.

Why?

I am thinking of replacing the clock in the speedo with boost gauge, but need to find a perfectly sized one.

It should be 2.1 ideally on mine, but I am happy with 2.0

I am using the dash one. But I never went more than 1.8 when pushing it, saw 2 bar only when in 6th hear flat out

I am going to London on Saturday, so I'll see how it feels at higher speeds etc.

[Dift]

Do you have a boost guage, or are you using the dash readout?

Glad you noticed a difference.

Dont remove it

Thanks. Will make a plate over weekend to hold them down nicely.
