Boost or Boost/Vacuum gauge?
I want to add a boost gauge to my Clubman. I have a 2012 model with the N18 engine, and I know the manifold will mostly only show boost, and not vacuum.
What are your thoughts about adding a boost only gauge, instead of a boost/vacuum gauge? |
Actually, it shows vacuum more than boost. Get a gauge that shows both.
One benefit is that you can maximize fuel economy by keeping the needle in the vacuum range as much as you can. |
the n18, after "warm up" will only show about 5" of vacuum max, will usually hang around 1-3", however I would get a gauge that does both - it would be an easy indicator if something weren't working correctly to see a lot of vacuum under normal conditions

A vacuum gage will read in inches of mercury, not psi.
