I'm currently running a JB3 and DCI on my car and kinda want a boost gauge to monitor my boost or any leaks in the future.I know that dealers can only void warranty if the part caused the problem etc etc...

But just as a dealer point if i installed a boost gauge would they be a dick about it as much as a BOV or would it be close to or less mod than a DCI? My dealer has no problem with having intakes but warned me having a BOV can void the warranty and dont prefer it.

Would getting a boost gauge be a similar mod like a BOV or a Intake and a viewing point. I really dont want to get busted with running a tune and having my warranty blow..

Thanks in advance.

Get Rixeffects boost guage, and turn off the power to the guage when u go in for service, I will almost guarantee u that it would not even be noticed...My guage when the car is off, you will never see it! It looks that OEM!!!

Yea the Rix gauge and the new JB3 gauge that is going to come out look very promising.

Thats what i was thinking since i need something to chnge the map as well...

I dont have a map switcher yet so im running race map full time.

Also what am i touching to install the boost gauge? Is it easy DIY like changing fog lights or intake or pin out JB3 or is it more advance to do this my self..

Thanks

You don't have to have a tune to have a boost gauge, maybe the dealers logic is boost gauge = Tune.

The dealer can't blame the gauge for anything, plus you got the Magnum-Moss warranty act if they act like dicks about it.

Rixeffects boost guage also acts as a map changer if you didn't know that!!!

Your warranty is not in any danger from putting in a boost gauge.

Boost gauge? Are you kidding? I left mine in and might I add, on, when I went back in for a recheck after wastegates and HPFP replacement. Then I left and came back within 300 miles with a new I-drive software issue, then again for SES light and power loss. They unpluged it first to make sure it wasn't a leak, then plugged it back in. Then they updated my software and let me know they un\plugged back my gauge.

I have the Rix vent gauge, and you have to be blind not to see it when its on, so I knew they'd see it immediately but was not worried about it. Rightly so. No complaints of any sort at all. Well they do know I have a Dinan stage II as they flashed it, so maybe they don't care. They also never blamed Dinan tune for HPFP or the wastegates. It all depends I guess, but that would be completely baseless and I doubt even BMWNA would support them on it.
