carl0s Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I need a boost gauge for monitoring BPU boost levels, but I don't want to remove the OEM facelift clock, or have anything else on view. Any ideas? I have a 52mm SPA dual-gauge (boost & temp), but that's meant for the clock hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get one of those DIN holders jobs if you dont want to remove the clock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get one of those DIN holders jobs if you dont want to remove the clock hmmm. I just want to keep the brand-new car look, that's all I suppose if someone made a dual-gauge clock/boost gauge, which looked 'modern' (like the 10yr old facelift clock) instead of all shiny and glossy, then that'd be good.

bromy Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I'll just charge the camera and nip outside and take a pic of my facelift with two gauges in place, I was the same did not want to change anything on the dash but got used to it quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraJames Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 why not just mount it in the glove box or centre arm rest..? then out of side but you can still monitor when you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supradibbs Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 if its facelift why not mount it where the stock boost gauge is someone did it with a afr gauge looked really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 hmm. top job there Bromy! Wayne: are there any boost gauge's available which are as small as the stock gauge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Why not do something like Terry did, and rebuild the little area under neath the radio and put the gauges there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Rob_ Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 for out of sight, i think a glove box position would be nice. im thinking of doing something like that for a boost controller and the defi control box ive got for my boost gauge. my gauge is currently in the location of the fan next to the clock.
