Disconnecting Aftermarket Boost Gauge And Rewiring In-Dash Stock Gauge

[dandrov]

just wondering how to do this, i tried searching but didnt find anything helpful. if its relevant, i drive a r33 gtst s1.

cheers

why would you the stock guage is usless

Are you sure it needs rewiring? Might just need the hose reconnected to the sender.

I used a T piece so both gauges work.

the only reason i want to do it is cuz my aftermarket ones dead and some indication of how much boost im running is better than none. the main thing i need to know is where do the wires connect to the stock boost gauge? is if located behind the dash?

If running mroe than stock boost, with stock boost gauge is just as helpful as you dead aftermarket one.

theres a sensor in the engine bay on drivers side back corner near the windscreen. this may not have a hose on it.

well i have a boost controller installed but im pretty sure it isnt boosted. i cut the airline to the dead boost gauge now its hissing lol. this isnt bad tho is it?

[paulr33]

if you can hear hissing its vac leaking

ie venting to atmo

which is likely to be unlimited boost mode

stop what your doing

see someone who knows what they are doing before you run unlimited boost and kill the turbo

find a local member with a GTST to give you 5 minutes of guidance before you break something

[dandrov]

yeah thats what i thought cuz a leak causes overboosting hey. what if i just clamped the vaccum hose cuz its only the part i cut thats leaking.

[dandrov]

please help me out!

At least put a wood screw in the hose that you cut to stop it leaking otherwise u could do heaps of damage
