Best Boost Gauge Setup?

E92TiAg335i · 11-06-2020, 09:20 PM

Anyone here have a nice, clean boost gauge setup?

If so, can you share a pic and the link to the gauge/setup?

I don't love the vent gauges, but the TMS gauge is nice (https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-3...t-gauge-amber/)

Or the Podwurx from Kies (https://www.kiesmotorsports.com/prod...TGwlBRLSnQkvQQ)

Anybody else have another setup and/or specific gauge they use?

Thanks!

I use the awron gauge but they don’t make it anymore. Why not look to the p3 gauge. Pretty cool and easy to install

I've looked into both and just not a fan of the looks/fact that it covers most of the vent. I realize the one TMS gauge is also a vent gauge, but something about covering the vent of an 86k car bothers me.

Side note: i live in South Florida, so i'd love all the AC possible lol.

I have the P3 gauge. For an 86k car. It’s the best looking one. Looks like it came that way from BMW. It only covers half the vent. It still functions normal. And you get countless other gauges in it.

Ah so there is no issue with the air flow?

I thought there was?

There are only 2 gauges people go with. The p3 or the Awron.

I like the analog gauges... this looks like a cool setup: https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...ighlight=Stack

You want to talk about making your 80k car look cheap. Well there you go.

I feel like the benefit of a boost gauge eludes this community. It is a very good tool to discern issues within the car that won't be caught by the ECU immediately. Boost leaks, tuning issues, wastegate issues, etc...without the need to log all the time.

I agree.

Remember, this "community" loves trolling and talking about how many pops & bangs, not helping.

Awron gauge imo is the best.. i have it looks awesome and gives all kinds of good performance pages.

Been looking at the AK Motion, but don't own it (yet). Seems similar to Awron and appears to have quite a bit of functionality.
