Jamesgetz 4th Gear April 18, 2006 Share April 18, 2006 sorry, i'm a complete idiot to the world of expensive gauages ie. Defi BF toying with idea of getting 2 Defi gauges -> one for water temp and one for vacuum. a few questions. -> searched the website and can't find the vacuum gauge for Defi BF. is the 'inlet manifold' one the same??? -> is it really a must to buy and install the link controller? -> anyone selling the above? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanzy Clutched April 19, 2006 Share April 19, 2006 Yes, inlet manifold is pressure is your vacuum pressure if your car is NA. If your car has forced induction, then it will be Turbo gauge or commonly referred to as boost gauge. I assume that the vacuum gauge is for show so might as well get a Turbo gauge since it can also read to -1.0bar of manifold pressure. Of course, if your car is NA, it will never go into positive boost area but it looks better. Just don't press the 'Peak' button and show people that your boost never go into positive reading. Link controller is a must since the Defi meters receive digital signals and not analog like Autometers.

Tanzy Clutched April 19, 2006 Share April 19, 2006 (edited) Inlet Manifold pressure gauge is vacuum gauge. Does the Blitz gauges do 'peak hold' and provide recording functions like the Defi ones? I don't mind getting the Blitz ones just to be different. Then again, Defi meters are tried and tested on the tracks. They are reliable and the start feature is pretty cool. Since we are suggesting other gauges, there's also HKS gauges which are ultra slim. Available from Garage R. Edited April 19, 2006 by Tanzy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbonetics 2nd Gear April 19, 2006 Share April 19, 2006 ermm... the Blitz one iam abit blur when the person explain to me.... they got two type...one is mechanical and electronic... he said mechanical one is more accurate as it is used in tracks....but i think not much diff also... then the electronic one got 2 buttons(if i din see wrongly),which i think can set the peak hold...and duno what...but i believe no recording function...they dun need to use control unit...just use the two buttons on each gauge...mechanical one dun have buttons...Blitz also have those Slim type like HKS... btw,the salesman told me that Defi one is made in Taiwan...is it true??? i tot its made in Jap???
