Default Glowshift boost gauges...

Looking into a boost gauge for the rst and have come across The Glowshift Boost gauges, they look ok and seem reasonably priced, Kinda look similar to Defis too which can't be bad, just wondered if anyones uses them or had any experience with them?

Cheers Paul

A friend recently bought some for a car he was working on.

Typical local suppliers had fuck all so he had to buy from the US. Ridiculous really.

This boost gauge was mechanical, although the other two were electrical. Actually quite nice looking gauges. And the electrical ones are easy wired, as the main harness daisy chains between them

I have a glowshift boost gauge. I wanted a black gauge with green lights to match the ERST dashboard.

Cost about £45 all in from the states (bloody import fee's). Good instructions with it, easy to wire in and pretty accurate according to my tuner.

The only trouble I have is everytime my mate gets in the car he switches it onto pink lights
