Default Anyone wanting another APEXi 2.5 bar boost gauge...

...you're shit out of luck . I just sold my last one this week and had an order in for another batch from Japan and have just been told that they don't make them anymore . They even tried scouring the Japanese / American dealers to see if anyone had some left and no-one has. They do a replacement version (the ELII), but it only goes to 2 bar and is the same sort of set up as the Defi gauges requiring a controller etc.

Item has now had to be removed from my website - RIP .

Phil,
It was the only electro-mechanical gauge with peak memory recall and record / playback on the market, which went higher than 2.0 bar...

Apexi dont make shit anymore, jus flogging off their old stock TBH.

They was taken over by the Yakuza, people left, they went bankrupt, re-appeared as Apexiera, still in trouble, dont make shit, flogging their demo cars, people leaving, and so on.

Apexi USA are doing ok i think, prob go on totally alone before too long.

Phil,
That's because you'll NEVER have a car powerful enough to warrant a gauge that reads that amount of boost .

If that's the one I think it is, it's been floating around for ages, as it hasn't got the sensor.....

I have a Pectel monitor that displays boost digitally, but yo can't beat an anologue gauge for quick reference . I WON'T be selling it.
