I think I agree with you, I spotted an add for a place that sells them, close to my workplace, will stop to see what they have there sometime.Draco wrote:No...I think I will stick to the metrika gueage....those are double the price and looks kak.

i fitted an autoguage one. and it boosts 0.8bar on my DEAD STD sx... is that right?Hennie Marais wrote:I compared autogauge once against the logged data and it were out by around 0.2bar boost at 1.5bar. So it's a major difference, but if you know it then it doesn't really matter.

is that possible with no aftermarket goodies?
Posted: Wed Nov 07, 2007 10:45 pm
I believe so. My sx had it boost set at 0.8 bar when I got it.Riekert wrote:is that possible with no aftermarket goodies?
The wastegate actuator can be adjusted by twisting the 2 rods that it is made up of. This lengthens or shorten the actuator and causes the wastegate to open at more or less boost. (someone pls correct me if I'm mistaken)
My actuator has only got a slightly modification to allow you to easily adjust it with a spanner.

ah ok. but how can you know for sure that it's running .8?
