boost gauge for 135

untouchableE82 · 02-13-2009, 01:28 AM

was wondering if there is anyone who did a boost gauge setup in the 1er. i know rixster is coming up with something soon. but other than that is there anything else?

defi has some good gages, i think a chick has a defi setup on here, too lazy to look for the thread.

because i like the look of it , and ive used them in my previous cars, and ive seen them on other cars.
but watned to see how it would look on the 135. or where to put them .

I have a defi gauge but have not installed it.. Its one of those "clean out the garage things" that might happen someday...I am concerned about using a boost gauge might cause an ever so slight boost leak that might affect my procede tune....

hey guys we will have a solution for you this weekend it is under tight wraps but i can give you a little info.

- It will be a full replacement of the plastic behind the steering wheel (on top)
- it will hold two gauges one on each side.
- Will fit e90/e92/e81/e82/e87
-very easy install pull off old clip in new.
- Looks Oem

If installed correctly there should be no boost leaks. If you are tuned/planning on tuning then a boost guage seems like a must. Great way to monitor things.

Agreed. That's why i bought it. My plan was to mount it onto the upper left AC vent. Either attach it directly or create some fabricated replacement for that vent which will allow the boost gague to attach there...Thoughts anyone as to my plan?

I wonder if someone already makes a kit for that? I know AWE makes a vent gauge for the GTI, it looks awesome. I like the look of it more there than attached to the pillar or on the steering wheel.

ichiban · 02-17-2009, 10:40 PM

oh and there's this. i think i might opt for this over the defi.
