[kylem1853]

Does anyone know how add a boost gauge to see what these things are actually doing on the innovate I run the torque app with the tablet which is fine but it won't register boost past like 5.7 5.9 ish for some reason wanted to know I'd there is something to change or can I add a mechanical gauge?

Your OEM MAP sensor will only read up to 5.7 psi so that is the limiting factor. There are higher reading sensor options, but your tune will need to be scaled for the new MAP sensor. I would personally get a mechanical or electrical boost gauge though.

How would I hook a mechanical on that setup

I run a separate digital boost reading for my P3 gauge. Just tap the same area as where the map sensor is or there is a port on the rear but you'd need to remove the charger to get access to it.

CAPS IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL

1/8npt brass fitting nipple thing, drill and tap the MAP plate, connect mechanical boost gauge line to it then other end to the gauge. Wire in gauge. Enjoy a fluctuating number WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Also try searching i posted this shit like 1-2 pages ago on the Innovate owners thread.

Anyone know where I can get a MAP plate with a nipple so I can run a boost gauge tube to it? The bolt on the rear of the sprintex stripped when I tried to remove it.
OR
If you don't know where to get a plate, perhaps help instruct me on how to drill a hole in one and what to do to get a nipple on it. I don't really know anything about welding or metal work so I have not idea how to do it myself if I buy a new plate.
