Boost gauge options

jscheiner.09 · 01-23-2014, 02:38 PM

Trying to figure out my boost gauge options, do any companies offer the full gauge/vent setup?
I would like to see peoples setups. Thanks !

My fuel gauge is my boost gauge.

jscheiner.09 · 01-23-2014, 04:07 PM

Okay thanks, I just am not to keen in the pricing of the p3. As of now I have my fuel gauge hi jacked but am looking for something permanent.

Ive been thinking of this too. I want to get someones old vent and cut it up to fit a small 2inch boost gauge in. I belive ATI makes a gauge mount for the steering column as well.

torque on your phone and a OBD to bluetooth in your OBDII port. You can display boost or lots of other things and design you own gauge or gauge cluster. Cost is about $30, more if you need a mount for your phone.

I actually thought about doing that with my iPad mini but I am pretty sure you cannot run another obdII with the jb4 tune.

That's correct, if you are using a JB4 the P3, Awron or bluetooth ODB and torque won't work.
You'll have to get a gauge that uses a physical sensor.

Haha so my options would be limited to...?

Search on google for "small boost gauge" there is a small LED screen boost gauge with sensor that seems pretty cool and could be put anywhere.

i searched for a few weeks for a regular guage that would match the stock guages. ill post my setup when i get home. i cant do it from work.

I have an N55 and even running the actual boost tap the P3 didn't work with the JB4 installed. Best to ask when ordering as there are a few different versions.

This is correct.

V2/V3 will work as a boost gauge, but you won't have the additional functionality such as various parameters requiring OBDII integration. Only one communication can be open on the channel at a single given time, so if JB4 is active, nothing else can be. But as stated above, reading boost directly from DV/intake manifold is much more accurate that reading from OBDII/DME.

I use a wife OBD II wifi plug with Dash command on my iphone while in the car. Works pretty good. Only downside is it gets a bit annoying that you constantly have to unplug the thing bc its constantly drawing power from the OBD port as it doesn't have an off switch or auto-off.

There was a hardware update to the P3 in February 2012. Mine is the older version.
It's not an issue now I have a Cobb tune, and I run a physical boost tap.
When I tried to have it plugged in at the same time as the JB4 the JB4 would freak out and keep resetting as they are fighting over CANBUS bandwidth.

Why the hell there is no vent pod option for manual gauge...

Harlequin · 01-30-2014, 07:01 AM

This is made by IND. I wish they made something similar for the E82...

There is no picture of the pod though. It looks like its just a electronic boost gauge for $150
