How to Easily Install a Boost Gauge! (Golf GTI Mk4)
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 08. 2017
- I finally installed my boost gauge that I had laying around for over 2 months! I never really found a decent tutorial on installing a gauge for a golf mk4 1.8T, so I decided to make a short tutorial myself. Let me know if it helps!
On a stock 1.8t AUM, you should be running about -20 PSI on idle, 8-9 PSI at peak, and 7-8 PSI at a steady pace.

*2019 UPDATE!*
This video is still getting a lot of attention, and I've been getting tons of comments about this install so I thought I'd answer the main questions below:
*- Where did I get the pillar pod?*
It was from ebay, but I believe the seller no longer makes them. Best bet is to check Facebook or ebay for second hand ones.
*- Where did I wire the gauge too?*
It's wired into the dimmer switch, positive and negative. Useful guide can be found here: axleaddict.com/auto-repair/How-Install-Boost-Gauge-Wires-MKIV-VWAudi-DIY
*- Why did I wire it into the FPR?*
BECAUSE GOOGLE TOLD ME TOO!
I wasn't and still am not a expert on these things, however my car has changed a lot since this video, and the gauge is now tapped into a spare nipple from the inlet manifold (after deleted n249, SAI, ECT). Is that the best place? F*ck knows! But it works.
I apologies I haven't been able to reply to you all, but thank you for your continued support! ❤️
BWTV good man 👍🏻 I wanna do it on my golf but seems long lol 😂 but then again wiring a sub in is long 😂
Can anyone help me find a pillar pod just like this one. I have been looking for about 2 weeks and can’t find one anywhere
Get some 3mm silicone tubing for the fuel regulator where the 'T' piece is going. Make sure it's the braided type 😊
Great video I have just got hold of a mk4 factory fitted 1.8t golf estate and I need a boost guage 😀
Brad it's Ray mk3 lol I gotta MK4 now boost guage coming tomorrow thanks bro I was concerned about fitting it but now I'm all good thanks bro
how do you connect the lighting which cables did you take power from?
I have had a mechanical boost gauge for 3 yrs not fitted it to me mk2 leon fr170 because i can't find anywhere to feed the pipe through. After your video behind the glove box looks good so will have a look this weekend thank you.
Love the vid and that is my first car as well they are really good for tuning just subbed:)
Okami Beats yeah they are 👌 hoping to be remapping it come end of October. Cheers!
Nice Video!..I've been trying to get a pilar mount like yours and cannot find one!..where did you get yours?
Thanks!
Where did u get the gauge housing ? Can u add a link plz
Where did you get that pod? Good job on the install brada
Where did you get that boost gauge kit and the pod
If the dimmer is set low the boost gauge light flickers?
cool man,u did it.....
Where did you wiring it up?
Where do you wire it up to?
Where did you wire it into?
Reckon this will work on my mk1 octy?
Great vid mate but maybe answer some people’s questions like where & how you wired it & where to get pillar post etc
Made an update, check the pinned comment 😎
Where can I order the garage unit from
where exactly did you wire into, what cables i.e. Live and earth??
whereee???
I wanna know Aswell lol
i think on the headlight switch
Dimmer switch 👍
Tap it threw ur side lights
You call the hose wire?
How easy was it to remove your glove box assembly? I saw in other places you needed to take out the entire center console ? Thanks!
If you do upgrade or change turbos will you boost by gear ? Or have it set at 1.5 bar ?
Underdog Status haven't thought that far ahead yet 😦 I've been reading about this place that does it in stages, so I'll go by whatever they suggest 👌
BWTV Seems fair enough 🚗 Can't wait for future videos amd keep up to awesome work Bro 🍕
Where did you get pod from ? Finding it hard to find a pod to fit a mk4 golf
It was from ebay but even I can't see it anymore 😢
Why install a boost gauge on the fuel pressure reg?
What is the best place to tap in to? I always thought u needed to tap into your Blow Off valve?
@@jopper231 use the line going from the turbo nipple that's how you get true boost, he has just tapped into the fuel pressure regulator, he has done it the total wrong way 🤣, his boost gauge will be showing fuel pressure instead of turbo pressure!
@@jcstuning3610 remind me not to bring my car to you 😂
Hey dude love the vids helped me out brill got a question can I ask how much u no about the engines my engine is similar to urs a 1.8t audi s3
D4UE N I've learnt quite a bit over time, what you wondering? 👍
Iv got to keep the mas airflow unplugged as if it’s plugged in it jumps and chokes and gives me a code of p0303 cylinder 3 misfire now iv checked spark plugs coils and I don’t no wat else to do
D4UE N replace the MAF and that should sort it, if it runs smoother with it unplugged it means it's dirty or broken 🤙
Rite I’ll give that a try thanks do I need to worry about the misfire it’s giving me or will that go
Where did you wire it up for the power feed ?
Check the pinned comment
is it worth getting a boost gauge or is just more fun?
i got my gti a few months ago and i'm looking for small things.
Fun and you can see if you have a leak, well worth it! 👍
it would have been useful a week ago because one of my turbo hoses got blown off, and i was wondering what the hissing noise was.
GTI Maine Same with me Only mine let an Almighty bang out of it Similar to a tyre exploding and Oil everywhere Fun lol
Why do you keep calling the hose a wire?
bro, how do you know which one is boost line(which T and vacuum line locate)?
its right beside fuel pressur regulator on this engine, 1:35 , 2:05
How did you wire the power? Did it come straight from the battery?
He failed to show the most important part lol. Under the steering wheel you'll need to take off some covers and you'll find terminals for ground, ignition power and constant power.
For anyone reading this 6 years later
@@Paulie_franga I appreciate the reply, but my gti is probably owned by a 16 year old kid. 😂
@@DaSNoble 🤣🤣
Video not working anymore gets as far a cat and freezes
The video it is not bad but you just made a mistake where you did hack the tube to put the T pice. Becouse that is the fuel pressure regulator and now whit that long hose for the gauge it will have a lag in the regulator. You must finde another place to put the T pice but not the breake servo pump or the fuel pressure regulator. Good luck
stan marius Yeah I managed to find a new silicon hose for that part :) thanks for the feedback 👌
Nice hair
Cheers bro
Hi please stop calling a hose wire 🤣🤣
and showed no wiring... not helpful
Do some googling or take your time to read the description before commenting
wiring is the easiest part
just wire it to an ignition controlled fuse
I've seen a lot of gay hair on youtube, but this has got to be some of the gayest
