Boost Gauge on 1.9 DCi

[LiamG]

Hi, where do people normally fit boost gauges in Megane's? Ive always wanted to have one for novelty more than anything.

I dont want to drill anything or remove anything really if possible. Where do you route the pipe from engine bay into the compartment?

Looking at a 52mm version of one

[anth_dci]

i would also be interested in fitting one of these, but ive no idea where to start

[Poddy]

I fitted one.

see the front quarter panel. you'll be able to thread the pipe along there to the inside of the car.

i'll take pics n show u, 'even tho ive no megane the description will still be the same'

[LiamG]

Brilliant thanks for that, ill wait for the pic as im still not too sure.

Thanks

[LiamG]

Yeah just thinking of a 15 PSI max one - 52mm

No idea what it would boost to as standard but imagine the 15 would be ok?

[Poddy]

nope too low, mine boosted to 22psi

[LiamG]

Ahh thanks for that, ill look for ones up to 30 psi then

Just got to figure out what you mean to get it through lol

[LiamG]

Does a 120 DCi really boost to 22psi as standard? would of thought it was less for some reason

Any ideas where to mount the pod where i wouldnt have to drill or anything. was thing in the corner of the windscreen near the A pillar just stuck down with some double sided tape or something

[Poddy]

i'll get the phots up over the weekend as im in work atm.

1 bar wouldn't be enough if it boosts to 22psi.
1 bar = 14.5psi

I don't know anything about boost pressures but given 1 bar is normal air pressure I though it'd be higher than 22psi.

[Poddy]

Standard Subaru's Boost to about 22psi, when a bit of work has been done to them get boost to about 2-2.5 BAR

i had one on my old 306, the novelty wore off in about a week
