After a sub £50 boost gauge, that was well as being good quality build, must be accurate. Must be 52mm as well........

Got a tempory TIM one at the mo, which looks crap, as well as under-reading big time (lucky its not on show).

I've been looking into Autometer carbon fibre series, which seem very good quality, bout £40 ish and i've heard good reports bout em.

Any other suggestions? links?

larkspeed. remember to get the same size as the pod you already have lol. I like the splitfire but not fitting frendly. revotech ones are nice as are autometer.

I'd also suggest getting an oil temp gauge as well


Demon tweeks is expensive.

Air/Fuel Ratio work on a Derv?

EGT? - cant be arsed to go drilling into my manifold, which is a mission to get to as it is!!!

I wudnt mind a combined Boost gauge + Air charge temp, but not seen any good ones yet, that aint silly money like Blitz stuff.

306's got a built in oil temp gauge matey...whether it accurate or not, it'll do me

I'm running 1.1bar Vibs, and the 20PSi autometer will do me fine, seeing as 1.1bar = 15.9PSi (afaik).....and the most its ever likely to see in the future will be 1.3 bar.....which works out nicely bout 19PSi

As for the gauge, i dont really want a gauge that reads "Fuel pressure" Kris, although it wud be a clearer option. (coz the whole face is dedicated to boost, not vacuum)
