I've just been quoted £160+VAT to supply and fit a boost meter including pod on the A pillar by a company in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Seems a bit steep to me, does anyone know of a cheaper place around the Yorkshire area? Or is this a fair price to pay?

Sounds not too bad actually... my boost gauge and pod cost about £130, then fitting was just into three figures at my Subaru dealership

Still, done now and looks great, particularly at night when it glows eeriely

Hi Jon,

I am very interested in the pod, an e-mail is on the way.

Cheers

Sounds pretty decent - a good boost guage can easily be £150, or £250 if it is STi

KPM, If you are nervous about fitting it yourself, get the pod and guage and I'll give you a hand doing it. I live in Leeds so its no problem.

I've seen a banner ad on this site for a gauge + pod for £80 (I don't remember the company - Power Engineering or Scoobymania or some other...).

Sorry - can't be more helpful. Just keep an eye on the banners when you surf the BBS and hopefully it'll come up.

Thanks guys that's great.
KenG - That's really nice of you to offer, once I get the money together I may well take you up on your offer. Are you any good at fitting Bleed valves too or will I wave my warrenty good bye since it's a MY00?
