boost gauge now in!!!

[Deleted member 12147]

Here's mine, IMO they are a better match with the oem dials, and the numbers light up red. I can take night pics later if anyone wants to see them lit up. They are glowshift gauges.

I was looking at this gauge but after seeing pics of it at night I decided against this gauge. I went for a stepper one from motor meter racing, not oem looking but works well

Do the stepper motor ones have an extra sensor for boost that needs to be wired in, I tried an electronic boost gauge before but prefer mechanical.

There are 4 wires to connect on the one I have

Perm live
Earth
Switched live
2nd switched live for second colour at night

Was easy to connect to the light switch for power, it then has a cable which goes from the gauge to the sensor

Have to agree with Lee, was advised by a few people to sway away from them

The needle isn't as bright as that to the naked eye, the camera (iPhone) has made it look brighter than it actually looks.

-22 is normal pull for vacuum, either you have a leak or a gauge that can't read correctly
