boost gauge

wonfa · 19-06-2007, 21:57

fitted this today what do you think

its and auto gauge, boost gauge with a smoked face, looks blank with the power off and turn the key and it all comes to life, just like a defi gauge but much cheaper!

i decided to put it in the air vent but i used a carbon fibre plate to match the rest of the interior

mluton · 19-06-2007, 22:03

Nice work.

Ender · 19-06-2007, 22:05

I think you could probally sell your vent too, they seem to be in big demand if their intact.

mluton · 19-06-2007, 22:47

Whats involved in fitting a boost gauge.

How many Haynes Spanners would you give it ?

Ender · 19-06-2007, 22:47

Damn your good, ta very much mate

wonfa · 19-06-2007, 23:06

i dont think its difficult anyone who can use a screwdriver should be able to do it,
it just depends on where you going to fit it, most boost gauges come with a bit of fitting kit like mine came with a t peice and vacum hose,
all you need to do it t of the vacum hose then wire in the electrics (mine had three wires)

how much would i get for the vent as thats in perfect condition?

duke of hazzard · 20-06-2007, 10:46

wow, thats a beautiful gauge! id like a boost gauge in mine as a stand alone unit but i cant think where to put it. id like to put 2 in the ash tray in the front but cant think how to work it, stealth gauges!

wonfa · 20-06-2007, 18:21

Nice one

dsmithmobile · 22-06-2007, 09:02

Looks good,i have my boost gauge in the same location and have oil temp and oil pressure below the radio and volt meter in the ash tray

Jackyl · 22-06-2007, 11:44

Where did you bought the piece that holds the gauge and fits in the air vent?

It looks very good.

Steevie Wonder · 22-06-2007, 11:54

I have mine (boost gauge) fitted in a pod on top of the ignition cowling, it does not obstruct your vision or any warning lights etc. and it does mean you don't have to look too far out of your field of vision to observe your boost readings etc.

http://www.briskoda.net/forums/attac...8-dsc00950.jpg

Oil temp, oil pressure and battery volts gauges are under the stereo. The oil temp and pressure are useful but the battery gauge is only there to fill the hole tbh!!

wonfa · 22-06-2007, 21:47

i brought it from halfords, they didnt have it in stock but it was in one of their boy racer catalogues to order
it comes with the hole cut and is 120mm x 150mm so can be cut to what size you want, i think the do it in just black too if you dont want carbon
