Default Boost Guage Help Pls

I need a boost guage for the Escos.

It needs to match the diameter of the Stack ST700 guage, ie 80mm Black face & rim - white numbers & red needle.

Would be ideal if the needle sat in the same position as the stack clock when idle.

Guess it needs to be a min of 30 psi & a manual (ie pipe on back type)


an pics or links would be appreciated
thx

dangerous

The Stack boost gauge is a Stepper no?

has a peak recall facility.. although I think its limited to as how long it holds memory for

you can also replay at different speeds

worth £300 imo IF thats the kind of gauge you're after


the elliot ones look pretty gypo to be honest

The problem with the Stack gauge is the readout.

The boost is scaled at 4 bar, so that it reads 3 bar boost, but idle sits at "1" on the gauge.

Sean used to have one I believe.........

But that doesn't include the price of the pressure sender (ST453) - another £280 on top

But it will do the job - looks like your rev counter (apart from the white needle) and will sit at about 1 bar at idle, when your rev counter sits at about 900rpm. Gauges do come up on ebay - "billspeed" sells new ones for about £140-£150 (without sender)
