Boost gauge fitment

[Cupra R]

Excuse my stupidity but how do you fit a electrical gauge I'm looking a boost gauges at the moment and would like to consider both options

An electrical gauge is pretty much the same as a normal gauge except for your Vac pipe goes to a sensor, then an electrical cable to your gauge.

Oh thanks for answering that would people say these are better or does it not really make a great deal of difference

I prefer my Electrical Gauge yes as it has a Peak Hold feature.

What sensor is it plumbed to?  Pic / guides kicking about?

Mike, they are plumbed in exactly the same as a Mechaincal gauge (mines done via Forge's Ctach Tank supplied PCV Block off)

The Vac line then goes through my Bulkhead and into the Electrical Sender in the Passenger Footwell, then upto my gauge.

HTH

No probs mate.

The sender goes with the gauge, you cant use it on a normal gauge or have I misread your intentions?

Bought my gauge from RSpec, they do the senders seperately too I think.

Sorry shouldve said would be buying a new gauge too

Doh

My gauge is a R-Spec gauge too 

My old gauges that I had in the Ibiza were ProSport ones that are exactly the same as the R-Spec ones, again bothe the boost & oil temp were electric ones 

Think I've got a few pics and vids on the laptop at home, I'll have a look tonight and post them up for ya Mike

I'd be interested too, my next mod I think

Found a couple of mine  

[gazbutS3]

so how do the electronic type plug in/connect up???

[Tfsi_Mike]

As above Gaz, there Vac hose goes from the same place in engine bay.  Then instead of going straight to back of gauge it goes to an electrical sensor that sends the signal to the gauge.


More interestingly, whats that perched on your dash???
