jrss13 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 PM sent... wondering when you are getting the GT Boost 16 or 20 back in stock for a 2007 LGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsme Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 gd ideal. You sure o cant make the limit higher. I have my 20g hitting around 21lbs . So I wont be able to see if I overboost. If you need a higher boost range tester let me know.

lossol Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 So it's been a while since the last post but don't be worried GTboost digital is still in the works. Although I don't expect them to be for sale until Jan 09. I'm struggling with a good way to hook them up. The data line needs to be interrupted, so without a mating connector...that means cutting a wire. I'm trying to design a solution around this, or find the mating connector from some distributer.  Testing kinda of came to a stand-still while my own connector got worn our from many numerous disconnects. Although I have been in touch with some other on the forum and they are helping me out with new terminals! Many have been asking about a higher max pressure capability. I'm working on this as well and expect to have this improved beyond the current 22 PSI max. Some have also been wondering about a 2007+ solution. I hope to be working on that in 2009 as well. The product would actually be a clock replacement, still maintaining clock capability of course, but adding other functionality including boost pressure. Think of it as a LCD that would replace the clock display...the options then for additional functionality could be endless. Love the feedback! keep it coming.

dammitjim Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 One thing I really like about BMWs is that there is a button on the stalk to toggle the multifunction display. The Legacy has a washer mist button on the stalk. Would it be possible to build a board that can intercept the signal coming from the mist button and do this:Â 1. If there is a short press on the mist button, toggle the multifunction display 2. If there is a long press on the mist button, mist as normal. 3. ?

Zimm Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I was wondering if there is a way to use something like the info cluster relocation kit to add this type of functionality to those of use with factory navigation systems? Not sure if this would be feasible but just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lossol Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 Quite a few people have been asking about a 2007+ solution.  Because the 2007 trip computer is integrated into the gauge cluster It's not as easy to replace the data stream with boost data. From what I have been researching it seems it is a can protocol direct to the gauge cluster that contains all gauge cluster information. Although it's probably possible, the risk of screwing something up is much bigger. However 2007 still have a clock. What about replacing that PCB board with this one? You see what I'm getting at? Look at the pic. Dual OLED Displays with boost info, time info, temp info? jeeze I don't know the possibility's are endless really. It's a thought. Then all the 07+ guys could have a nice solution.

crash Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I was hoping you'd come up with something like this (similar to the one I shared with you earlier that was made for the Forester). Something like this could be a solution for all years but the 05 guys would have to keep their original plugged in so the airbag light wouldn't come on...

lossol Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 Look what I found - The idea would be to have a nice plug in solution. This product still looks to be on target for a mid to late January arrival. VBG1 gauges available at www.gtboostgauge.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denver133 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 This doesn't work for 07+ spec B's. We do not have the clock except for the one on our nav. Which makes me wonder...what was the outcome of the Nav temp readings?  Quite a few people have been asking about a 2007+ solution.  Because the 2007 trip computer is integrated into the gauge cluster It's not as easy to replace the data stream with boost data.

lossol Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 True, The guys without clock are left out of this one. Nothing has been tested with a navigation system yet. It may work for the older navigation system, however the navigation system may get the data via another method (not the serial line from the gauge cluster, maybe directly off the can bus) for now...

lossol Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 It's been a while since the last update: Â Good news! I have found and will be receiving sample connectors for both male and female sides. This means there will be a "no cutting" installation method for the GTBoost digital gauge. Â I have been riding around with the prototype in my car for almost a month now, still works great, with no software issues cropping up. I choose to display Boost pressure in the instant MPG data slot, and choose not to view vac. Most of the time it reads "---" or course until you boost and it reads boost pressure. I'm really enjoying this unique little mod. Â Hopefully this will work in the 2005 cars. I expect to be contacting beta testers in early to mid Jan 2009Â Many have been asking about price, It's not official, however i expect it should be less than 90 bucks. Â Happy holidays VBG1 gauges available at www.gtboostgauge.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lossol Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 Wow 3 bar is around 43.5 psi! Thanks for the link. I have a sensor in mind similar to the mpx4250 currently used. I like the idea of broadening installation options. There may even be a wireless version in the future, that would get rid of the need to run vac hose through the firewall.
