Must have a look at my PM setting :doh:

That's the boost gauge I fancy getting to mate :lol:

I'll post some pics up once I get it all sorted. Just need the gauge now, got the blanking plate and got the hole marked out just dont want to drill it out till I can measure the exact size of the gauge to make it a good tight fit.

TBCupraT - How hard were they to wire up? How good were the instructions that came with it?

Cant wait to get it fitted.

Well if your electrical savvy then it's a piece of piss.

I had to extend the power cables as they were way to short to connect from the headlight switch.

The instructions are very easy but it would help to have a multimeter to ensure your soldering into the correct wires in on the light switch loom.

I have to say that it's very responsive and I'm quite surprised how good it is for the cost.

My sport has the additional oil temp and volt gauges. I was thinking of replacing the volt one with a boost gauge.......does anybody know if this has been done before? They're quite small though so I dont think it'll be an easy job.
