Boost gauge question

Is it possible to take a TC boost gauge and put it on a SC?

Physically yes, but it will read incorrectly. You would need to upgrade to a 3 bar map sensor and rescale via tuning software.

read: more trouble than its worth

I am working on something that should help with this though. Hoping to have something to share within a month or so.

What's the plan? I was thinking of buying the 3 bar map sensor since I already have the boost gauge. However, like you said, I'll need to reprogram the ECU.

I have the sensor and the gauge. I'll do some testing this weekend and let you know how it goes.

Well I just put my Harrop on yesterday. So far so good. Now that I know how much of the stock sensor I need to cut, I can do the same to the 3 bar. I ran into some issues with the tensioner though, so this wont get done this weekend.

For anyone else that wants to try this, you can purchase that sensor here:

and if my math is any good, your MAP Sensor Linear value in HPT should be 322.58 (300 plus the difference between 4.65 and 5.0v), and MAP Sensor Offset would be -8.05 (0 minus the difference between 4.60 and 5.00v).
