Default Standard Boost Gauge

Is it possible to get a new face for the standard boost gauge that goes past the 1.3 bar??

Cheers, Rich.

SUHE from germany made other dials for the standard gauge, think it´s still available?!?



but it only goes to 1,5 bar, maybe 1,8 in the red?!?
also has an oil temp.

I indeed have 1 kit left and the boost gauge is pretty accurate.
We tested it against a calibrated one and it was about spot on.

problem is that none of these are made from the electroluminescent type material [its quite thick and mettalicy?]so if you just use a sticker then it will light up a diff colour to the rest of the guages thats why its best to renew as a set

Are you sure you want this as the kit is mph only.
If you really want it though, you could have my kit as I'm thinking of installing the mph one.
