Jacqs rattled, didnt sit at 0, and under read by about 0.1 bar, it's gone, now an ornament on a shelf somewhere and a nice Blitz one in it's place that reads up to 1.5 bar, ideal.

Still Volvo links though as my wife has a V50 R design sport and a mildly fettled T4
Ross where did it come from, link me up please
My BSR rattles like hell also, it must be a common fault. I e-mailed them, and they seemed suprised and told me to check the installation. They said that they would change it if i sent it back with the receipt, but it seems like a lot of p***ing about for a £30 gauge. Especially if the one that they send you also rattles, which would probably be the case ! Time to change it.
Er, no ? I just thought it was a tee piece and threw it away. so thats why it rattles then ?Originally Posted by Al115
mine doesn't rattle .... but with or without the brass restrictor in the y-piece, the guage whips round and hits the stop when it gets full boost ... works ok the rest of the time, just shows a massive spike when the car goes ballistic
It'll stay where it is until I can afford a new one .... be a while yet

unfortunately I don't know where it came from Justin, it was "borrowed" from my mates tuning garage as he had it lying and plugged it onto the hose the BSR one sat on. I shall ask if he knows where he got it, in all likelyhodd it came out of someones car when an electronic boost controller was put in etc, which has a digital read out anyway.
He does sell them though, not the blitz ones, but good ones that are just over £100 iirc, they are electronic, come with their own MAP sensor, have programmable warning light for overboost, and a peak boost recall, all on just your average size cylindrical needle guage. Not sure if they are sold from The Garage, or from One Performance, which is a different one man company that uses the same premesis, if its one performance they can probably sort you out one mail order. I can find out next time I am in if you'd like, which is unfortuantely for my wallet, quite regularly lol.

though a quick search found this
http://www.fensport.co.uk/partsfiles/universalparts.htm , theres a blitz one on there that reads to 2.0 bar, not the same as the one we have, not that pricey either though
