How To Use Boost Gauge To Control Surbo

Here is one idea that will let you utilize the Surbo system to the maximum. Attaching a boost gauge, you will be able to get the most power per throttle travel (->press less, get more power). It’s not for measuring a boost output, but as a means of consistently commanding the Surbo, especially under low-torque situations at very low rpm and/or in a very high gear. If you do not wish to install a gauge, just reading this page will help you understand the Surbo system better. Note: “gauge” and “meter” refer to the same thing. Please also refer to How The Surbo System Works to see how the boost gauge (white circle) is positioned within and related to the Surbo system. Why A Boost Gauge? When you have your gauge installed and you drive normally, you will realize that it is always pointing up and down. This means that supply of air (from the air intake) is not equal to demand for air (by the engine), especially during acceleration, or after gearchanges, or driving under different loads or terrain, or a combination of the above. When the demand for air is not met by the air intake (indicated by a falling needle on the meter), this can reduce engine power. With the meter attached to and reading from the air manifold (the holding area between the throttle and engine), once you balance the needle at any point by moving your right foot, supply=demand and the airflow will be optimized. By moving your foot, the Surbo is activated automatically! Background The boost gauge had found a new use as a Surbo trigger on our test car. While we wanted our customers to have the same fun, problems resulted as customers could not choose or find suitable gauges or supervise the job as stated; almost always, based on user feedback and our own checks, unknown installers did poor jobs that caused leaks to the vacuum and resulted in Surbo failure as well. So we have to write a clear guide to prevent failure during installation, for you to use in supervising the job. You can’t just leave it to the installers as they won’t care about giving you a perfect seal.
