Shame your boost doesn't go anywhere near the 2.5

Don't you want one that reads over 2.5bar James?!

The Racetech 2.5bar is very good, but I have a 60mm Collins one that reads 40psi if you want it?...

Possibly!

I want to stick to 52mm really, unless I do away with the SECS monitor and have a single pod 60mm with boost, then make another panel to go where SECS is as won't be fully functional anymore anyway...decisions decisions!
