Integrated Boost Gauge

WOPALX · 09-04-2009, 12:55 AM

Okay so not for 1ers yet but the 135 version will be available shortly (few weeks away).

These have been available for LHD cars for a little over 12 months, I wound up sending the guy in the US a RHD vent so he could develop the RHD version so it's been a long 12mth wait, but well worth it.

Installation took about 45mins all up and the kit contained everything needed. Fitment was 100%, look is 95% OEM (way better than a ghetto gauge velcroed onto the dash) and the LED's are a 100% perfect match to those in the cluster.

Sorry for the crappy pics, I'll be installing one into a friends 335 on the weekend so will go out with a proper camera and take some high res images and some video too (maybe if I can work out how to do that).

Pretty sure AB in Vic is looking to be a dealer in Aus.

What maximum boost does the 135i run?

Looks good.

That is VERY, VERY clean and great looking.

7 psi stock +/- a little depending on your altitude.

Tunes push this up, some with very free flowing mods and meth are running 18psi. Conservative stage 1 tune's are 13psi or there about.

The gauge is accurate to 72 psi but I don't think I'd be wanting to test it that high

Can it be made to show oil/coolant temperature?
don't have turboes, so boost isnt' an issue

Yes i will have some 335i units in soon, then my 135i will get one when the first run is ready.

Look very neat. I just hope the digits would be the same font. But running a LCD dot matrix panel will increase the price $$$$.

What is the roughly damage btw...?

Funny i thought the same thing about the font but it really does not matter too much.

Cost wise, best to ask Andrew.
