Don't SARD supply an optional gauge? If not a Powerboost one would fit ok...

Up to you really. They join together using hose usually.

I cant see much difference in either, can get fitting from work to mate it all up.

I got facilities at work. Got an old fpr hear to so can use that as a template.

Assuming its just a blank plate with a hose coupling on it?

if you get one of those and start to play about with pressure, best getting a wideband lambda or get it done on the rollers as you never know what effects you might make on things adjusting it otherwise

I've been looking at them wide band lambda and i've heard they worth every penny but again thiers loads to choose from. so which one?

Thinking of rolling road setup so its a toss up between wideband and r/r setup?

I went sard as it was recommended by a few people iirc muppet you were one of them.

I want to get the most out of ph2 when i eventually get round to getting it.

What else do i need and would i be right in saying roughly 3.5 bar is roughly what it should be for ph2?

think its 4 bar for p2

i would use a wideband to roughly set it up then take it rolling road to get it checked properly. thats how i did my own. also the wideband gauges are a handy thing to actually be able to see incase of things going lean

i use innovate as do a few of my mates

I'd have got it wrong before starting

Sounds like a plan doing it that way, best of both world then. I'll have a look at them innovate ones.

Are the easy to wire in as iirc they have a control box (ecu type thing)

I have a lambda gauge for sale actually, its a webber alpha in car type with a heated lambda sensor, not sure if its wideband or not, will need to check, has done the job well for me for the last 6 months though

looks like this:

problem there being the car not under load is it? so its completely useless doing that. also, the ecu will always manage to make it around 14.9 odd on idle itself even if the fuel pressure was at 6bar or 1 bar

Say if i used switchable ph2 software would this affect how the car fuels overall?

i forget how the switches work as i always unplug them, but if you have the fuel set up so its on the money on the higher boost setting, i wouldnt worry about turning it to a lower setting, fuelling would be ok

you wont be able to set it up on a gas analyser like whoever said though, as car is under no load revving it, under no boost so cannot even guess that its right.
