Pining The Boost Gauge

[04-MystiChrome]

How high does the boost gauge go above the 10/line
before you pin it? Example \1.............10/.....|pin

Not very much.....there is a stop pin in on the bottom of the dial that prevents any further travel. The Ray Hilton boost overlay requires the trimming of this stop pin in order that the dial can continue past 10 psi

Wierd I can't see any stop pin on my gauge (04).
Where just exactly is it as I can't see any pin but
the plastic dash cover is still on.

the stop pin is on the dial you wouldn't see it...untill you take it off...

Mine goes about 1 cm past the 10 line....I havent changed nothing on it yet

Thanx: I thought I was going blind

the pin is on the backside of the needle itself

Mine goes to the second line (starting after the thick black one) here as indicated in Stlblack03's avatar. Where does the stock pin stop you at???

I thought the oem boost gauge might not help if I changed out the pulley and gained boost so I'm puttin' in a autometer lunar boost gauge. :rockon:

How bout just trimming the pin off the needle while the needle is still attached , with say a razor blade. You should not need to recalibrate the gauge then and it should fly past the 10psi mark, yet still look stock(I think that overlay is pretty cheesey looking)

Yea, that's certainly an option.....but then you're only really guessing what kind of boost you're pulling. The jury is still out on exeactly how accurate the factory boost gauge is anyway. I just don't want to run an aftermarket gauge right now and the overlay gives me at least a consistent idea of where I'm at.
