woobley boos guage!
Turbo Mini Forums

hi guys, mite sound a random question but when my car is at idle the needle on the boos guage jumps around alot, as soon as you give it a bit of throttle it's ok, is this normal? also i have got quite bad clutch judder, its not the crank seal as this is new, i did fit a new ring gear could this of made everything out of balance?

cheers tim8-)

How smooth is your idle ? If it's very erratic it could cause the needle to jump.
What clutch plate are you running ? Have you changed this when you changed the ringear ?

yeh new plate, its a rally one, the idle is pretty smooth to be honest seems to run fine, tis a bit odd!!!

Did you just use the standard plate before ? If so, you'll find the AP Rally/Race plate a little more "aggressive".

i had this, you need to get a t piece with a restrictor in it to run to the gauge. Smoothed mine right out.

yeh i dont rly mind that but i think its more somthing in warped or out of balance as its wort of an actuall judder through the engine.?

cool where did you get the restrictor from mate?

it was part of a t piece, i had it knocking round the garage, i think it came with an autogauge boost gauge. I've only got the one, otherwise i'd pop one in the post to you.

If you drop them a mail from their website, they may send one to you. :)

Hi,
A nozzle from a mig welder or a Weber carb jet should do the job
Cheers,
