1) I've heard that the Factory boost gauge on the IX MR is not too accurate, meaning even less accurate than cheap aftermarket boost gauges... how true is that? Please no guessing or random personal opinions, only if you know for a fact...

2) Also, my car runs a bit more boost than stock. Obviously the stock gauge only goes to 1.5bar, so at WOT, the needle goes beyond the 1.5bar mark, and hits some point in the blank space. NOW, the Q is, how wise/practical would it be to draw more spacers/dividers on the face of the gauge, and extend the measurements to 1.6, 1.7 bar ?
of course i would use a ruler to draw accurate lines, perfectly corresponding and proper distance to the factory lines...

thanks


oh and here is a little visual aide -

my factory gauge seems to be pretty accurate since I'm comparing readings to my aem truboost gauge. My suggestion is just get a bigger boost gauge. I'm getting rid of my stupid factory gauges. They are ugly and too small to read for me.

well at least the Oem blend in with the rest of the console, and any after-market gauges, esp 60mm, are gonna standout like a cold-sore on puffy lips... oh and of course the Oem gauges are already there, hence, FREE (rather than hundreds and hundreds for aftermarket)!

yeah i agree they do blend in. Look at 52mm gauges. I was looking for 60mm gauges also because I thought the stock gauges were 52mm. But yeah the factory ones are lik 45 or something like that. The 52mm gauges (aem truboost/aem uego) are perfect for me. Look good and perfect size.

Compared to a logged JDM MAP sensor, the factory gauge isn't off by much, and I know this for a fact. IOW, it's quite good.

can you show me a pic of how it looks in your car (i already know how it looks on Lancershop.com, but that doesnt help much)??
oh and is it by any chance a direct replacement for the stock gauges ? or will I need different wiring, sensors, brackets, and a control unit or something like that ???

i really don know. as of now i have 3 different boost gauges in my car. stock mr gauges. defi and a hks evc. i normally just randomly pick one to look at cause i have so many. but when i ran 30psi, the stock mr gauge almost circled the whole gauge. lol

yeah ill try and take a pic tonight for ya. I dont know what you mean by direct replacement but when you buy the AEM gauges, they come with all the wiring you need. I'll eventually sell the factory crap and put a headunit in. Right now its sitting on the top. I switched them with the stock radio location to make them at least sort of useful. having the gauges all the way down there is kind of umm I don't know how the hell they expect you to watch the gauge while driving Pillar pod ftw
