Boost Guage Installing

[John Ret.]

I'll be getting a boost guage (from apex performance) and pillar mount (from partsforvolvo).

Can any decent garage fit the boost guage? Or will it have to be a turbo/tuning specialist?

getting this:

All mechanical gauges feature a quality engineered bourdon tube design and super durable engineered plastic movements for rugged, reliable performance. The gauges come with a red and a green rubber boot to allow the back light colour to be customised to suit your car. All boost gauges come with full fitting kit.

from here: http://www.apexperformance.co.uk/ (excellent for guages).

Ta!

Any decent mechanic should know, if you get the kit i'm sure Wobbly Dave would do it in 5 minutes at a meet.

If you fancy a trip out, I will happily fit said gauge for you?

Cheers Dave, I'll wait til I've got said parts and see what'll be best.

I can come to Grimsby - if you supply the kippers!

Cheers Dave, I'll let you know.

Also, Will a 20PSi guage suffice?

I've not got any huge plans for modifying it. What PSi does a T5 run with a 310 RICA?
