Timmerman "Shrapnnel-Knobben" mod

[Efraim]

Few corrections. Zener's value is 4.3V, it is soldered between pins 1 and 5
on the transducer (daughter) board  and it clamps boost, as ECU reads it, at
about 1.35Bar. You can actually see 1.3-1.4 Bar on the in-dash gauge when
auxiliary boost gauge shows 1.8Bar. By the way, if anybody needs good
quality (made in Holland) glycerin filled 2.5" dia gauge graduated at
0 -1Bar and 0 -15psi, let me know. I found a store in Vancouver which sells
them for CDN$24 which would be about US$16. Pretty good price for good
quality gauge.

EITHER!
