non wallet busting gauges ?
I have 2 Swoosh colour changing ones at the min , Boost and Volts as i had a twin pod and they are really only for decoration to me . It allowed me to have them green with a red needle which matches the dash which i like but they are now stuck on that colour and Boost has decided to go dim. Now i know most will say its coz they are cheap crap , but i have a hard time spending big money on big name ones.
Is there a decent range that do green that dont cost £100's ? If not , i am happy to buy another set of Swoosh ones for £40 !

They match well with the dash lights etc and are pretty good quality.

Autometer and prosport are decent brands and pretty reliable.
I did a couple of group buys a few years ago from summit racing in the US, even after postage the 15 and 20 autometer gauge consignments still worked out at around 32 quid posted to each persons home. Maybe worth thinking about if you wanted them even cheaper.

I would also say go for prosports. I have got a boost, oil temp and oil pressure in my bugeye and they are great for the £35 each I paid. My oil temp and pressure gauge do an opening sweep when they are turned on and are wired to show white during the day and green to match the rest of the dash when I turn my lights on.

Can anyone help me understand , on this http://rspec.co.uk/b-gauges-b/smoked...oost-gauge-psi
when it says "electrical/mechanical" electrical is the wiring to the illumination , and the mechanical is the tubing to move the needle ? Or does it mean i need to connect a sensor or something ? I already have a gauge fitted with tubing and illumition wiring and want to just change the gauge.

A mechanical will have just the hose, an electric one will have the hoses and a converter which needs wiring in I think the electric ones are meant to be slightly more accurate.
