Anyone recommend a boost gauge they've got or know of?:search:

 

There are pics HERE of the most popular Japanese branded gauges. If I can help with prices just let me know.

 

You have a few choices to make when choosing a boost gauge.

 

1. Size - Gauges are most commonly available in either 52mm or 60mm diameter. The standard clock on the dash can be removed and replaced with a 52mm gauge, a 60mm gauge can be fitted inside the airvent. Other option is to fit in a gauge pod.

 

2. Standalone or link system - gauges can be either standalone or are part of a link system with a central control box, (these needs to be bought separately). The link system is good if fitting multiple gauges as each gauge can be linked in series which is a lot easier when installing. If you are just fitting a single boost gauge, then it would be cheaper to go for a standalone gauge.

 

3. Mechanical or electronic - boost gauges can be either mechanical ie. have a vacuum pipe going from the engine bay to the gauge, or electronic ie. there is a pressure sensor in the engine bay, that sends an electronic signal to the gauge. Electronic gauges are more expensive, but usually include features such as Peak Hold, Warning, Playback, etc.
