Generally very easy to fit just to see what is happening, bit harder if you want it lit up at night. I bought an old TIM one off the bay for a fiver.________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

My oil guage is a Revotec one from Demon Tweeks, and they do indeed sell a boost guage. Very good quality, fits the standard 52mm hole and has a bulb in the back that just connects to any old 12v supply.From what it says it comes with 2m of hose and a t-piece, which must connect to the air inlet somewhere. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

I am very happy with mine - it's an SPA Design one and it's a programmable stepper motor job (so you get things like peak hold, programmable warning light for certain boost levels, adjustable sensitivity etc.)And yeah I looked for ages to find one that wasn't too "JDM yo!" this one looks suitably OEM and has red backlighting at night.  ________________________________________ Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch....Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.

if your after a cheap one, ebay and look for the auto gauge ones. They do the job and look nice. Ive gone for the smoked glass ones so you cant see anything till the ignitions on then they light up (Y)________________________________________ 309 GTi6-T |

the quality of boost gauges are ones that dont drip due to age... on a SC car it isnt really a big purchase as boost is set per rpm..________________________________________ Team Supercharged Gti-6NV Motorsport Automotive Performance Tuning 0121 448 7515 ECU Remapping/ DPF removal VAG/BMW Diag and Option Coding Peugeot Planet ECU coding/transponder programming etc www.nvmotorsport.com Facebook Page Project S6 |

True it's not essential, although mine has already come in handy when diagnosing belt slip - and I like to use the peak/tell-tale from time to time (to check for any boost leak) ________________________________________ Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch....Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.
