Boost Gauges

However, that will change when you start boosting your car’s performance. In such applications, a boost gauge like the ones we have here at CarMods Australia will come in handy. We at CarMods Australia are boost gauge experts. We have been supplying performance enthusiasts and motorsports professionals with top-of-the-line aftermarket boost gauge kits for years.

Boost gauges offer several benefits, the most important of which is keeping your engine from blowing up or failing because of high boost pressure levels. Car manufacturers design the turbocharged/supercharged engines they build for their vehicles to function optimally within preset boost pressure limits. Performance enhancements, from basic bold-on mods like cold air intakes to full-on ECU remaps, fuel system upgrades, and exhaust system swaps, can raise boost pressure way above those limits and consequently put more significant strain on your engine.

A good boost gauge will accurately show you when the boost pressure levels in your engine are approaching critical levels. It will also enable you to keep track of those boost pressure levels while driving at the limit, making it possible for you to achieve higher performance without causing irreparable engine damage.

We at CarMods Australia have both mechanical and digital boost gauges. The mechanical boost gauges connect directly to the engine and mostly feature analog displays. The digital boost gauge kits, which have digital displays, use sensors to keep track of applied boost. They incorporate the latest technology for reading and reporting boost pressure values, so rest assured that they will provide accurate readings. Our boost gauge kits include all the accessories you need to mount the boost gauge onto your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are boost gauges challenging to install? Will I need to get a technician to do it for me?

No, they are not difficult to install, but they must be installed correctly, especially the digital gauges. So, if you do not know much about such gauges or where their wires, connectors, and plugs need to go, you will be better off hiring a technician to do it for you.

 

How long does it take to install a boost gauge?

20-30 minutes is sufficient for someone experienced.

 

Is it true that mechanical gauges are more accurate?

Mechanical boost gauges are said to be more accurate because they connect directly to a car’s charge pipe/intake manifold. Digital boost gauges, on the other hand, give estimates based on the data they draw from a vehicle’s ECU, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t as accurate; they are just as precise.
