christurismohk Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 FINALLY a boost gauge that I am interested in! I HATE round thing behind the steering wheel, or on the pillar, or in the cubby....all these look "unclean" to me.. Please keep us posted! I just wish the leds are a little bigger or further apart..but thats ok, will get used to it eventually. Just as long as I can read in b/t 5-12 psi...(1psi per light) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lossol Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Finishied up the software today. Features of the gauge at least in this version (V0.01) Vac displayed in white from 0 - 10 psi (locked at 1 led per psi) Boost from 0 - 16 psi (locked at 1 psi per led) If you attach the parking lights line, the gauge will dim when the plights are on. Everytime you boost the max value is held for several seconds, to give you a chance to see what it peaked out at. Marker lights are at 5, 10 , and 15 psi. This gauge looks great at night!

lossol Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Heres another update: I have launched this website so people from this forum and others who are not in this forum can see this gauge in action. www.gtboostgauge.com I have also decided to re-layout the board to fix a minor issue and put a little more space between the LEDs. The new boards will be in late next week. I re-priced all the components and my time for making this gauge and I'm now I'm raising the price to 120. I have a few of the "first run boards" I will sell for 90 bucks. The gauges seen in the website are all the first run gauges. I would like to see if this gauge will fit in GTs other than 2006s. I think it may fit 05 and 07s. VBG1 gauges available at www.gtboostgauge.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I'd like to try and see if it fits the '07 s. And, nice looking website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lossol Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Han would you be interested in installing and taking a few pics? I could discount the gauge for you to 70 bucks. I could send you the gauge in about a week. Obviously you only have to pay if it fits and you want to keep it. Anyone interested in the same deal for 05s or 08s.

Jeffh Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hi , I have an 08 Spec B and would be interested in one of your gauges. Can you pm me with installation instructions if you have them? Thanks Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lossol Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 This gauge will not work with the nav unit, because it is designed to fit directly under the trip computer. Still looking for an 08 tester. VBG1 gauges available at www.gtboostgauge.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lossol Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 Update: Good news I have tested the gauge against a mech PSI gauge. The gauge seems to be spot on. (this device uses a very reliable and accurate pressure to voltage sensor) The an analog to digital converter reads the voltage of the sensor and translates that to a equivlent Pressure, or vacuum. Beta units will prob ship this weekend. Installation instructions are in the works and will be on the website soon. 05 - dv/dt will be testing fit 06 - fits tested by me! 07 - han will be testing fit 08 - no volunteers yet There is still a slot open for an 08 tester.
