Installing Pyro and Boost gauges in a GU

Hey lads

trying to get the idea of how and what you are are using to install both the Pryo and Boost gauges in their GU Patrols.
Having 2 gauges sitting on the dash will probably be getting in the way a little bit.
Any pictures or ideas would be great. Im all ears :)

cheers

Hi Leigh,
Welcome to the forum. I see you've already checked out my build thread. The pillar pod keeps everything out of the way quite nicely and I reckon looks really neat. LOL.
Cheers,
Steve

yeah mate i think its definately the way to go, the pillar pod. Looks fantastic.

Additionally, if you already have a boost gauge in your dash you could fill the other hole in the pod with a dual battery gauge from Autron.. They look the goods.

I agree with the piller pod, looks shmik as lol

There is a pic of mine in the above link

the boost gauge i have already will be in the way i think of the pillar gauges. So will have to be moved anyway. But you can get pillars with 3 gauges in it. Might get one for my dual battery :)

This is the boost gauge that came with my troll. Out of curiosity while I'm driving where should it be sitting?
What should it be reading?Attachment 8336

What engine are you running?

That gauge measures Boost and Vacuum. If you have a Turbo Diesel then there is No Vacuum and it should never go into the "Negative"

I run a boost gauge that measures in PSI and then you can make sense of what guys are talking about when they talk 12psi or 15psi of boost. Running a gauge that measures in Bar is fine as long as you understand the conversion table. Look it up on the net and using a conversion table you should find where your at.

If you can afford it i would be ditching the Bar gauge and running a psi gauge. If you have a diesel then a psi gauge that runs boost only from zero to 30psi would be a winner. If you have a Petrol then you do need a Boost Vacuum gauge but i would still be moving to a psi gauge for ease of use.

my 2c, cheers

Hey mate, yeah I have a 3ltr Turbo Diesel. This is just the gauge that the person before me had in the car. I need to get a new one anyway to fit in the pillar I'm going to get to fit the gauges. :)

Agreed mate. No requirement for vacuum in the turbo diesel.
