Boost gauge

Post by DaveEFI »

Pal is intending fitting an MS to a supercharged engine - all on paper at the moment. And asked if I knew of a digital boost pressure gauge? I wondered if such a thing might be easier driven off perhaps MS3 - but way outside my knowledge, hence asking here.

Just run another 2 0r 3 bar map sensor use one of the MS3 inputs and set up a boost gauge in Tunerstudio. I don't know if it is possible, but you might be able to read it off the map sensor that you are using to control the ecu. I am sure that someone with a little more knowledge than me will chime in.

I'd like to see more response to using another sensor to read boost thru ms2v3?

Setting up a boost pressure gauge in Tuner Studio is trivial, you can display it and log it as well. Getting information to an external gauge is a bit trickier as MS2 has no analog outputs. You would likely need something CAN compatible.
