Stock Turbo + Autogauge Boost Gauge Noise

[defari]

Anyone got one of these? Ive got the same (except in psi) and for the life of me i cant work out how to stop the start up noise (never really bothered me until now. Im sick of the 5 second screaming noise whenever i turn the car on) the instructions say to hold down the peak button when starting the car.. It doesnt work - ive tried all other combinations i.e holding it down when car is completely off then turning it on... having it on accessories then holding it down and starting the car.. nothing seems to work!

Also being that my skyline is fairly stock im hearing a slight scraping noise near the turbo. I was thinking the turbo is on its way out but it still makes approx 10psi by 4000rpm-5000rpm. The turbo was on its way out surely it shouldnt still be making decent boost? (I've tested it by turning down the boost - then upping the boost to get R&R)

Turbo noise could be the bolts holding turbo onto manifold. Most RB25DETs seem to have this issue. Just pull back the metal locking tabs, and be shocked at the fact the nuts will be finger tight.

Make sure the gauge is wired correctly. If the constant and switched 12v is hooked up wrong you cannot turn off the beep.

Once thats sorted,

Press the button on the gauge and Hold

Switch the ign on

Let the gauge finish the opening ceremony

Then let go

10 psi by 4000rpm is not normal on a stock turbo

it should get there well before 3000rpm

f**k i have got a water temp and a oil pressure of the same brand and it shits me to tears. I feel like smashing them after listing to them over and over. I have done what KWS explined but mine will make the noise once i turn it off and back on again. So maybe mine is wired in wrong!

dude your turbo is f**ked.... 10psi by 4000 and a scraping noise means it's time for a new one

on the other hand here is the perfect chance to upgrade....
