Show us your Boost Gauge
For those of you who have fitted a boost gauge on your ZT/75, would you be able to share photos of where you have fitted it please?

1. Open an account at Photobucket (it's free). http://s5.photobucket.com/ 2. Upload your photos as instructed. 3. Have this Forum open on one browser page and your Photobucket album open on another page, so you can flip between them. 4. Each photo thumbnail in your album has a three line gadget in the upper left corner. 5. Hover the curser on that to open the actions menu. 6. In there move down and click on Share. 7. This pops up another gui with Photo Links options. 8. You need the Direct one, so click that. 9. The link turns yellow to confirm it has been copied to your clipboard. 10. Come back here and type out your text in the message interface. 11. Place the cursor where you want to insert the first photo. 12. Go to the tools bar at the top of the Message box and click the Insert Image button (the small yellow square with mountains & sun scene). 13. This pops up the add image URL gui. 14. Simply paste (Ctrl & v) the link directly over the existing 'http://' entry. (Ensure the existing code is deleted or your photos will have code tags on them). 15. OK this and your photo will appear in the message at the place required. 16. Just continue typing as normal, adding more photos as required. 17. When you're happy with the layout, post the message. You'll find the best result is given with photos around 400-800 pixels wide. Most cameras take much larger images and cause the forum page to be too wide for many monitors. Before uploading to Photobucket, I use one of the free photo editing programs you can download. Let's see your work! TC |

What's wrong with using the boost gauge from Torque? Is there a discrepancy between a dedicated boost gauge and having a digital one on screen grabbing values from the OBD socket?

wow those both look fantastic, thanks both I'm thinking of doing what you've done Wullie and fit it in the place of the clock. What route did you take to get the hose from the turbo to the boost gauge?

I wasn't aware that the OBD wasn't accurate when adjusting the boost above a certain value. There's a how to on here on fitting a manual boost controller and it has been on my to do list for a while. Where would the actual boost gauge be connected to as that isn't covered in the how to so if I ever fitted a manual boost controller I was just going to use Torque but I guess it would be a good idea to fit a gauge also.
