Hi Guys,

I noticed on a youtube clip posted up from one of the European members that he has his boost gauge showing readouts above the stock 1.2 bar maximum.
Take a look at clip on post#26: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ast-not-2.html

As he was unable to provide further information regarding the source that did his mod it prompted me to dig back through my earlier notes with Todd K (Protomotive) remembering that i had discussed this issue with him. Unfortunately the pictorial of the modified dash's file size is too large to attach so here is the web address:
www.aa-tuning.de , for those that may wish to pursue this modification.
Note: You will see the gauge mod listed on the site halfway down the page on the right hand colummn.

 

looks like you have to send in your cluster for a modified one? I can't spreken zie deutch

 

nice

mine was two times more expensive and mine shows 1,6bar so it's definitely from different source.

you have to be also aware modification in the ecu is required too.

 

You should translate this document.

As you can see in the documents below the speedo needs to be shipped or the entire car.

It may well be the same company as i noticed their version 2 shows up to 1.8 Bar. 450 euros to retain the factory gauge isn't unreasonable. The main inconvenience would be removing the ECU and/or dash (whichever is required). Obviously if you live in the EU it is easier to get it done than if you lived elsewhere. However, it's a nice modification though.

FadeToBlack thanks for translating it into English for us.

 

thanks for sharing very informative and important
i hope protomotive do this soon and i also hope he get rid of the external boost controller

 

Huh? Mine shows with the same modification up to 1.4bar and I was not told that the ecu is required? Just the cluster..?

 

It says:

"...this one goes to eleven."

That is very funny . Hopefully this type of discussion doesn't take place between customer and technician.

 

Pleasure Bro! With your special car this mod would be a nice finishing touch, and yes hopefully Todd can do these types of upgrades in the future heh. It's nice having everything looking neat inside the car rather than having separate gauges and switches everywhere .

ECU may not be required....i don't know. But an email enquiry should establish the requirements and what is available in so far as the boost gauge's display capability. I'm sure someone there can speak english. It may well be the case that they can show whatever boost reading you want. I imagine if they have the ability to make it show 1.8 Bar then they could possibly make the gauge display higher where required.

 

i met todd and cynthia last night in dubai and he told me he'll work on it
