They are awesome gauges but needs to be in the dash I think as it looks too big for the A pillar.

There are very little choices at all for 2 bar + boost gauges hence why I feel stuck with the SPA one.

thats the gauge set up in my car.

boost is top on the right hand SPA.

I think they are awesome gauges and love the wee features(peak recall, warning lights,changeable measurement units etc etc) but have had a few probs with the pressure sensors over the years.

Im going to mount them off the engine to see if that helps.

i do really like the 80mm stack boost gauge, and id have snapped that up from Mike along time ago had it been in white.

damn people - quick opinion, ive got 4 white defi's in the centre consul - will it look odd having black stack gauges in the main speedo binacle? (as in ST700 & Boost gauge as 80mm)

hmmm, wonder if i could get someone to remake the face of the black boost gauge.

Neil A - sell me that gauge you bugger - name a price

Paul, where is your boost sensor mounted?

Im going to have a small alloy block made up and run capilary lines to the block so the sensors are mounted away from heat and vibration.

Worth a try on yours too.

Shame there isnt more options for decent made and decent looking gauges, especially for those after boost gauges and running 2bar plus.
