Well finally got around to doing a few jobs on the Scoob...

Old shot of the rear plate



And New....Clay bard too..




Propsort Stepper Gauges in Smoke (off) mode..In Triple gauge pod.






They can glow amber too if you connect up to the headlight feed but I want them white all the time



They do a posh start up and close down sequence but I have not done a vid yet


Here's a Tube vid off what they do..

Have you got your foot on the throttle? Just wondering why your boost gauge is registering positive pressure at idle if not?

Where did you get them? They seem to be available in green/red so would fit with my lighting.

Nope, polish is an abrasive and wax is more of a coating, it's best to do both after clay barring because clay takes them off

May seem like a silly question but is it even possible to hit 10psi without even moving??

gauges look very nice, not the best idea to make your number plate illegal though

Yeah, rev the engine for a bit so that the turbo spins up, the turbo will still spin if the car isn't moving.

What Nick said.

Mine hits 12-13 psi on full boost. That's why I was wondering if there was a fault with the gauge.

Yep the bloody oil pressure is flashing red now because of the sensor not detecting any!!

They also have the Peak function which is handy.
