StarletRick Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 ive found a mint condition blitz vac gauge in japan. these are pretty rare...would be a good mod for those of you among us who are fuel consumption weary. and it also looks pretty sweet seeing as it has the full 270 sweep. probably gunna be 40-50 quid i recon. (these are £102 quid new) if anyone is interested. let me know and ill get on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scutch0 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 its a vacum guage, its like having a boost guage on a turbo to measure the boost pressure, you have one of these to measure the vacum on a n/a. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 It so us n/a boys can pretend we got a boost gauge In all seriousness is it like the fuel consumption gauge that come standard in BMW's...under the rev counter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StarletRick Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 it basically shows the vac thenegine is running at. performance wise. you want it to be at 0 as much as pos. for fuel, you can use it to keep the vac low to save fuel. youd be shocked how much of a difference it makes moving your foot a CM or so when cruising... its the same as a boost gauge basically, but it doenst go above atmosphere.

ecksjay Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 you dont want to get near to 0, no, you want to be as close to -1.0 as possible, i.e keeping your foot off the throttle, basically.it doesn't show or do anything, it just moves. its for bling more than anything, i threw a few of these away about a year ago as i couldnt give them away, they may be handy if you have illuminated gauges or LED's in your dash etc and wanted this to match.
