It's a RaceTech Gauge.

I hooked it up the way you said and all good now.

Mind you I will be looking to put the Dawes and Needle in soon, because I just maxed out at 22PSI going up at hill. Sits on just under 15PSI cruising 110-120klm @2400rpm . . . Is 22 something to worry about ???

Mine is max 17 cause it limp modes at 18 . mudski had his set in the 20 zone but he was running bigger air inlet from memory. Some ecu,s are more twitchy than others . For a stock rock I reckon 22 a bit high jmo. When you get your dawes valve then tweek away .

Hang on. Wheres the other end of that T going too?. If you have no Dawes there should be no T. Just straight from the front ic pipe and to the gauge.
Your ic is leaking too mate. This needs tobe fixed before you fit the dawes.

what Mudski is saying is, you can see in the picture where the IC is / has been leaking

Looks like your IC is gone too, imo

**ImRobboToo** · 10th October 2015, 09:22 AM

So how is this fixed ?? New IC or is it fixed with a gasket ??

Found this the neatest, quickest way to grab some boost

Thanks for the link TD

So if I take the IC off, I should be able to see the cracks then ?? Might be easier to buy a new IC ... ....... This is all new to me. I will get there

Most test by using a bike pump and a kiddies pool of water, looking at yours it will be leaking
I think they come from the factory with leaks.ha ha
Give it a test to confirm what we suspect, make sure its dry before you re-install it.
good luck
