Title: boost gauge
Post by: Stooey on April 29, 2015, 05:28:21 pm
I have been offered a brand new newsouth boost gauge with pod for £100 but not sure if its worth it to me, is there any REAL point in it or is it mostly for show? I do realise you will be able to tell if you have a boost leak but is that it?

I have a slight boost leak. And tbh i would probably never know as car still feels fine that i can't tell. So it is handy.

^^^^ The Newsouth Performance gauge is (as mentioned) great as a diagnostic tool for boost related problems. Ive had 1 for a few years and it's definetly not for show.

cant recommend the newsouth gauge enough mate, have one fitted with the steering column pod to check for correct pressure. Also looks like it is factory fitted, especially at night  :happy2:
