I have just fitted my blitz boost controller SBC iD3, and have spliced the boost pipe into an exisiting pipe for the boost gauge mounted in the A-pillar. I used to get 1.1 bar on the gauge but now get 0.6 - 0.8 whilst the blitz is reading 1.1. Which gauge do I believe?? Do I keep adjusting the blitz until my 1.1 reading comes back on the gauge or is the piping route mucking things up??
Cheers Si

I've got a disagreement between my apexi and my boost guage too. I'd go with the blitz, which is more likely to be accurate than the guage.

Yes, both t'd off the pipe for the fuel pressure regulator. Must change that soon and see if it makes any sort of a difference.

Yes. Strange because my boost guage actually reads higher than the apexi Think maybe my guage just isn't very accurate, it's only about 0.1 bar out.

Nigel thats exactly how/where my pipes are split. The blitz read 1.2bar & gauge 1bar!! - Want to set to 1.1 so not sure which to believe.
I have another gauge to try so will see if thats any better. BTW what make of gauge do you have?? The one in mine at present is an autometer - other one to try is the equiss.

From what I have read and so far tried I thought it may be handy to produce a table to see what people have the blitz unit set to.
Table of settings:
SET / GAIN / BAR 20 / 14 / 1 40 / 18 / 1.1 50 / 18 / 1.2 52 / 14 / 1.25 62 / 10 / 1.3
Feel free to add / comment!!! Si
