  1. I see them pop up every now and then but they sell out very quickly. That's how I got mine. Maybe try sending him an email @ info@gtboostgauge.com and see if he'll make you one.
  2. just as a follow-up to my issue... i checked to see if the hose going to the sending unit was under vacuum upon starting the car and it was, ruling out any issues there. also tried putting a new piece of hose on the sending unit and blowing/sucking air into it to see if it registered any boost/vacuum and it didn't, which meant the unit itself was broken. i sent it back to andy and he fixed and returned it to me within about a week. AWESOME!
  3. thanks fellas. the hose provided fits a little loosely in my opinion anyways so i think 4mm would be a good (if not better) fit. i got a response from lossol, he recommended i try connecting a new hose straight from the cockpit to verify if any kinks are causing the issue first. if not the unit is warrantied for the first year so he said i could send it back to be repaired.
  4. they recommend hose with an ID .17" and OD .25"... i haven't seen that where i've looked so far. is that sizing specification a necessity or just guidelines?
  5. anyone have recommendations for vacuum hose? i'm not a big fan of the stuff they sell on the website, too hard to work with. hoping to replace mine in case any kinks are causing the issues.
  6. I think you mistakenly put me down as 06silvarubiLGT... Better get me on the list. I have an extra grill I can send as well!
  7. I just got tuned yesterday and we found a hose that had popped off but that didn't fix the gauge. I'm going to pull the fender liner tonight or tomorrow probably to check the hose going into the unit. I'd be surprised if that was the issue but it's worth a try.
  8. can i pull apart the filter without draining the oil? or should it be drained first? edit: can and just did, little dribble but most of the oil was out of the lines after the car sat for a bit.
  9. I suppose that's always possible... I plugged up every hole that was exposed with some cloth while things were apart. The only thing I can think of is if there was some residual debris from when I cleaned up the tmic while installing the bulletproof kit. I think I'd be having bigger issues at this point if that was the case though.
  10. so my boost gauge stopped working after my stage 3 install... the only thing i changed with the unit was plugging in my plx wideband. the gauge still functions properly, and even displays afr, but it's not picking up any boost/vacuum. because it's not picking up boost/vacuum it is constantly shutting the screen off. any ideas? i tried unplugging the wideband already. i assume the power/ground is fine since the gauge itself still works. maybe something with my bpv or the line running off of it to the unit? i'll probably pull the fender lining this weekend to check it.
  11. FYI, looks like there is one in stock on the website right now...
  12. just used one of these for a boost gauge install. much easier to use than the one that came with the gauge IMO. thanks turkeylord!
  13. both fuses did the trick. knew it was something simple i was missing. should it be 7.5 amp fuses in both?
  14. having some install troubles... plugged the flex cable into the gauge (black side up) and secured it. connected add-a-fuse to power wire. connected grounding wire to screw on circuit box. plugged power into sending unit. the gauge does nothing when i turn the car on. i tried a larger fuse just for shits and giggles and still nothing. tried re-crimping all connectors, nothing. double checked flex cable, nothing. any thoughts?
