from a boost gauge?











just remembered what a lad i knew told me a while ago. he had a 1.0 corsa and he bought a vacum gauge and claimed it added 10bph also told me that the wirring noise his car made was and intercooler and it was under the engine.

all this from someone who did mechanics at the college

edit: btw my question isnt serious at all im just bored

My GTI has one as OE and its nice knowing when its up to temp before you go booting it. Much better than water temp

Not as good as my mechanic mate who said, i quote "An induction kit is the equivalent to a third of a turbo"

What a fucking idiot. Of course, I then asked "so would 3 induction kits mean you had a turbo?", "what psi will it be running?", etc

His tutor told him that stupid fact, so it must be true

would of been even worse if he said it how i read it

i missed the 'of a' out when reading it so it looked like 'equivalent to a third turbo'

The thing is...if they're like my 'mate' then they'll argue it to the death and get really wound up. You get the typical "look, who's gonna be right, you or my teacher?!"
