Turbo Gauge

Post by MikkoSuave »

Does anybody have a turbo gauge on their Baja? If so, what kind and would you recommend it. I just purchased an '05 Baja turbo and am thinking of putting a gauge on.

Thanks

unless you are modifying the output of the motor, I wouldn't even bother as it isn't much more than 8-12 pds I am guessing...so less than 1 bar on that type of gauge...

It's pretty simple to install. Just tap into a vac line and run it inside through a grommet of your choice on the firewall. The factory boost gauge has you T into the small vac. line going to the bypass valve on the intercooler. Once you run that inside and attach it to the gauge, you just have to tap the electrical into the illumination circuit.
