Re: Finally Put The New Boost Gauge In, Love The New Look (StealthyS60R)
Damn, just realized in the pic that you can't see that I've mounted its remote program/recall button in the pillar cover just to the left of the gauge.

Can you please explain the button and its functions, etc.?

I initially misspelled remote, lol.
If you hold it for a few seconds it recalls max and min pressures and with other special push sequences you can program the warning light to go off at specified boosts. I just got back from a drive and was pleased at how many time I got to see my 19+ PSI light glowing.
Also glad to see after upgrading my intercooler and new sensors I'm usually pushing between 18 and 19 PSI all the way through the power band, not counting those times it pushes past the 21 PSI limit of the readout of course, lol.

Your owning up to your name.. Looks Stealthy!! I like it http://********************/smile/emthup.gif Love seeing new ideas.. What about the snickers size thingy ma joby on your steering column though
Lots of cool stuff, but they do a much better job of laying it all out than I can. The only thing of importance it doesn't get that I wish it did is boost pressure. That's why I originally bought it but I still liked it anyways.

Is what they refer to as fuel rate actually the air / fuel ratio? I did not see A/F as a measured parameter but I an thinking it is just being called something else

Looks good and it goes very well with our gauges...
Dont you love that 96 degree weather down there lol...not! Im surprised your windows arent tinted down there! I have to get mine done soon before my interior gets eatin up this summer

It was really in the high 80s but the way my car was parked the ambient sensor was getting a little extra warm. As my IAT shows, the cold aluminum heatsink of my aftermarket FMIC and plumbing was still warming up, lol.
And I do need to get my windows tinted, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Looks cool; I have a suggestion: a black rubber or plastic grommet around the wires where they go through the unfinished hole will give a nice neat appearance.
If you have access to the MAP sensor through the scangauge, it appears you can convert it to boost in psi using x-gauge and the following formula website (depending on output units): http://www.onlineconversion.com/pressure.htm
I can attest to that. Stays around the 14.5 mark when cruising (or 1450 on the gauge), drops to 28.0 when in gear off the throttle, and zooms to 12 or so when in boost.
Yeppers, between the boost gauge and WBO2 A/F gauge I'm a pretty happy camper instrumentation wise. The only thing that will be better is being able to tap my phone into the CANBUS.
Sucks that I've been so busy lately, I haven't made any progress on that project at all for over a month now.
