Gagues

[steve963]

I bought some second hand Gagues, the std ones Boost, Oil temp and pressure but they all read about 50% too high

they have white needles, I have seen some with red, wonder if their any different

Can anybody suggest what to do?

Can I get some aftermarket gagues what will fit in the std surround and will take the std signals?

I really need to have these gagues so any help is appreciated

The Standard Gauges are never perfectly accurate anyway. Needles are all Red on the standard ones as far as i know..

Sounds as if someones replaced them and not fitted them correctly!

they look std?!?

its more like they are not calibrated for the signal

If ? the needles have been changed then they have not been put back in the right place. I thought you were runing to much boost now for the original boost gauge i did the white dial change over and would never do it again .

I have aftermarket boost gauge, but oil temp and pressure are right off the scale

I thought the needles were on wrong but they dont seem stuck to the shaft??
seems like the shaft spins freely in the needle, the faster it moves the more the needle moves???

yeah running 1.2bar now, did a (gentle) launch in a walled street with the windows down, the noise and power were amazing, should have seen my mates face!!
