Will you Newbies please read the forum rules and post your questions in the right bl00dy sections.

It's quite plain for anybody to see that boost gauge's/ boost controllers/fuel computers are indeed up grades that should be posted in the TUNING AND UPGRADES section.

And Andy you're are supposed to be a Moderator so do your job matey :doh: , Answer the question by all means but move to buggers to the right place :roll: .

Not really matey, Because you are replacing a standard gauge for one that can actually read the level of boost you need it to :doh: .

Also it's more than likely that you are fitting it in a non standard position in the car, In a pillar pod or the like, So their for it's an upgrade is it not :roll: :doh: .

Even fitted to the standard position it's still a better gauge than the standard one therefor an upgrade!

no it is a replacement, it will replace the original, yes it may be relocated but i am asking for info on the gauge not the relocation


perhaps you wish to add another section for recomendations seeing as your being picky with where i posted originaly

It's not being picky it's called doing my Mod job properly :roll: .

and i had originaly done a search of which no answer arose so i posted in the section i would class as correct, that being general R discussions section, perhaps you may take a step back and actually look at under the title of tuning and upgrades, they are what i would class as upgrades not merely a gauge replacement. im sure if Mr Gtir thought that the question was in the wronge section he would of moved it.

i understand you are only doing your job but take a look at it from a different point of view, i along with most others would not group a gauge with the likes of a turbo upgrade of which i belived the section to be designed for

Why does everything have to turn into an argument :doh: :roll: , Just take it that in my opinion it was an upgrade and should be posted in that section :roll: .

And Andy does f*ck all regarding moderating duties :doh: , He's more of an event man (b1tch) :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: .

I with rob on this one any thing you replace on a car this old is an upgrade maybe you should have asked for another set of the original gauges in the PARTS WANTED section:doh:

i give up, its totaly pointless asking a question on a site like this with individuals that are overrun with power, if you belive that a simple question about recomendations or opinions of a boost gauge should be in a tunning/upgrade section then hey i must be waisting my time
