In the near future I think I will need one that goes higher than this, I suppose the next stop on the boost gauge will be 2 Bar. Any one got any ideas for a good, good value for money boost gauge. Must be 52mm. Thanks chaps...... Now in the 400+ bhp club!

Demon Tweeks The colour bands are perfectly placed for the Coupe - up to about 1.2 bar as amber, and above 1.2 bar as red Also comes with white background
