Hello All,
Finally saved up the coin, and the 2002 Std 100 goes in for a turbo next Thursday. Decided on a Safari kit. I want to fit a Boost Gauge, to monitor the Turbo unit and also an Exhuast Gas Temp. Gauge. My question is, what's (Basically) involved in fitting these, How much should I be paying ( Ballpark) ??? is this a job that can be done by someone reasonably mechanically minded??
I cant wait......
Jarrod.
P.s, on a side issue was insured with CGU, Market value,policy cost me $550 per annum. Im 31, NO history whatsoever, rating one. 12onths ago, I reverse into a 3' pole causes $1300 damage. CGU policy goes up to $1400!!!!per year Now im a rating 3 in there eyes... So I do the ring around, Low and behold the one I try last TCIS insurance Quotes $900 per annum, That's cover anywhere in Oz, All
camping gear, laptop camera everything in car, Plus all accesories on car (20 grand's worth) with all the mods - 50mm susp. lift, Turbo ,
snorkel.. etc etc. Total value of car nearly 60 grand.... Giddy up TCIS - worth doing the ring around..

TCIS used to be THE offroad insurance to have, they would insure modded trucks the lot.. Not no more.
On the Boost Gauge, just got a mail from Wazza

I just ordered an Autometer from
http://www.modyourcar.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=19_109&products_id=218
no pic on their site, but pic attached
It is vaccuum as
well (not sure if this is even relevant on a diesel), but
easy enough to read. Comes with the tubing, etc. 30-0-20psi model
$138 delivered (bloody rip compared to US prices), but at least I will have
it for before tuning and matches the pyro.

Fitting to motor is about a 5 min job, then run the pipe into the cab, then mouting it depends on what you want to do. Give it to the Turbo Fitter to do, he can do it while fitting the snail.

Gday mate,
VDO do a 15psi boost gauge for about $80.00 and a pyro 900 degree gauge for $370. Both 52mm gauges, come with everything you need.

Get gthe pyro fitted while the exhaust is off it is easier to do than when it is fitted.
