I was looking to fit my existing boost gauge into a pillar pod but have found out it is smaller than the standard 52mm size so will not fit into the nomad pillar pods.

So the question is can anyone suggest a decent boost gauge (either 52 or 60mm) with a white face.

I thought this looks promising but any other suggestions?

I'm going to be looking for the same thing myself shortly

There's a similar thread on here somewhere and the Blitz gauge got good feedback. Unless there's something better this is probably what I'll be going for

If you can stomach the 100 quid, get it

Yeah I know

Not cheap but you usually get what you pay for. Having said that, if there's a cheaper one of similar quality I'd be interested

Any decent gauge will start at say 40 quid so it isn't that much more. The only reason I didn't get one is that I didn't want that read all the way up to 2.0 bar.

I know £100+ is alittle more than I want to spend but I can sell my onld one to recoup some of the costs.

demon tweaks have a racetech gauge for £40 Here but I think its looks crap and its goes up to 2.5 bar which is a bit pointless for me.

For the same price you could have a propper stepper motor electrical gauge with a choice of illumination colour and white or black face choice too.

Demon tweeks have these listed in thier red motorsport catalogue.

how about this then

looks pretty good - opinions?

Autometer Top gauges at good prices. They have a few distributors in the UK.

I kinda like this one...

I know its not white face and would prefer black bezel but I think it looks ok.

I'd recommend any of the major jap tuning makes, superior quality.

Blitz are the nuts - but not cheap.

Just please dont get a TIM one - they really are cheap crap.

IMO it's worth spending a bit of money to get something that's quality and easy to read.

Thanks Dan - I knew I'd saw it somewhere!

Defi BF in Amber for me

Here's my blitz if you want to see the mirror drive one

Ignition off, apply your lippy using that!

Ignition on, Gee willikers batman, it's a boostie!

i have a 52mm swoosh guage fitted in the dash just to the right hand side of the dash. it is very easily readable i'd reccomend them to anyone

Pinin - is that a Nomad Pillar Pod?

Got myself a racetech gauge a while back as id seen them used in rally cars and other competition cars.
After recently fitting my greddy ebc it seems to be pretty spot on.
Was only around 35 quid too.

guage

one i had,£50 and couldnt fault it and tbh you dont really need to spend any more.the defi guages are the nicest ones but at £140 your paying for the name and how it looks not its functionality so just save yourself a bit of money and get a cheapish one

one other thing get it in bar not psi

Yep, single pillar pod. I was all set for the double, but the second pod is right in your line of sight when turning and I didn't like it.

That wasn't the answer I'd hoped for Was thinking of getting the twin pod one but wondered whether it would be a problem.

I'm going to be getting a Turbo Timer fitted (I know most people say you don't need one :)) and I'm thinking about the Blitz one as it has a built-in digital boost gauge. Don't know how good it is though

Not many on here running turbo timers really, the supposed reasons are:

1. You don't need one if you allow the car to "simmer" for a couple of minutes after a spirited drive

2. They can play hell with the immobiliser

3. Insurance issues, some insurers won't insure a car that can have it's engine running when the owner is not present.


Saying that, I don't recall anyone who has one posting what they thought, so this could all be poppycock.


Oooh I liked that word poppycock poppycock poppycock
