Turbosmart TS-0101-2023 52mm Mechanical Boost Gauge 0-30 PSI Black Universal

Vehicle Fitment

• Universal Fitment - Compatible with any turbocharged petrol or diesel engine vehicle equipped with a suitable vacuum or boost source on the inlet manifold

Fitment Notes

• Mechanical gauge - requires tapping into a boost or vacuum source on the inlet manifold using the included tee piece and vacuum hose; no electronic MAP sensor required
• Gauge reads from vacuum (-30 in. Hg) through +30 PSI - suitable for boosted applications running up to 30 PSI of boost pressure
• Backlight wiring requires connection to a 12V ignition source (red wire) and chassis ground (black wire); an optional dimming circuit connects to the headlight or stereo illumination wire (orange wire) to reduce brightness at night
• Gauge mounting cup (TS-0101-2024) is sold separately; triple gauge mounting bracket (TS-0740-1002) also available separately
• Designed to pair with Turbosmart Gated Boost Control Valves but is fully functional as a standalone boost monitoring gauge on any compatible turbocharged application

Features

• Mechanical operation provides reliable, real-time boost readings without the complexity or failure points of electronic sensors or additional wiring harnesses
• Reads from vacuum (-30 in. Hg) to +30 PSI, covering the full range of boost and vacuum conditions encountered in turbocharged performance driving
• 52mm (2-1/16") diameter fits the most common aftermarket gauge mounting cups, pods, and pillar mounts used across all vehicle platforms
• Black gauge face with bright backlighting ensures clear, easy readability in any lighting condition - day or night
• Silver bezel provides a clean, professional appearance suitable for both factory-style interiors and custom builds
• Optional orange dimming circuit allows backlight brightness to be reduced when headlights or stereo illumination is active, preventing driver distraction at night
• Supplied tee piece includes an integral restrictor pill that dampens pressure spikes at the gauge, protecting the bourdon tube and improving reading stability
• All hookup and panel mounting hardware is included - no additional parts required for a complete mechanical installation
• Designed and manufactured at Turbosmart's factory in Sydney, Australia
• Backed by a 1-year limited warranty

Product Description

The Turbosmart TS-0101-2023 is a 52mm (2-1/16") mechanical boost and vacuum gauge offering a reading range from -30 in. Hg of vacuum through +30 PSI of boost pressure. Designed to suit any turbocharged petrol or diesel engine vehicle, it connects directly to a boost or vacuum source on the inlet manifold using the included tee piece and vacuum hose - no electronic MAP sensor, wiring harness, or controller box required. The mechanical design means the gauge responds in real time without the delays or calibration requirements that can affect electronic gauges, making it a straightforward and dependable tool for monitoring boost levels during performance driving.

The gauge face is black with a silver bezel and features bright backlighting powered by a 12V ignition source connection. An optional orange dimming circuit wire allows the backlight brightness to be scaled back when the vehicle's headlight or stereo illumination is active, reducing glare and driver distraction during nighttime driving. The included tee piece incorporates an integral restrictor pill that dampens sudden pressure spikes before they reach the gauge mechanism - a small but important detail that protects the bourdon tube from fatigue and improves reading stability at high boost levels. All hookup and panel mounting hardware is included in the box, making this a complete, ready-to-install solution without requiring additional trips to the hardware store.

The TS-0101-2023 is particularly well-suited for use alongside Turbosmart's Gated Boost Control Valve range, where it provides an accurate, real-time readout of the boost level being delivered by the controller. It is equally capable as a standalone gauge on any turbocharged build, fitting the industry-standard 52mm gauge diameter used across virtually all aftermarket gauge pods, pillar mounts, and mounting cups. The optional Turbosmart gauge mounting cup (TS-0101-2024) and triple gauge mounting bracket (TS-0740-1002) are available separately for a complete panel-mounted installation. Designed and manufactured at Turbosmart's facility in Sydney, Australia, and backed by a 1-year limited warranty.
