Hi Guys/Gals,
Can you post up some pics & info on your boost gauges?
I'm undecided on which brand/model i'm after, also wether to go for Pod style mounting or a cup on the steering column.
I had the Autometer #4301 in mind.

Here's my very home built example featuring a Collins Boost Gauge and a spare sheet of carbon fibre I had lying around (like you do):

52mm White Defi's in a Defi pod on my old MY00....



Personally, I don't think any of the other gauges come close to the quality and features of the Defi's....

515.4bhp / 421.5lb ft engine dyno confirmed...

Cosworth naturally, no Scooby would last even the mapping session on the dyno at that boost...

CraigH used to, perhaps he still has a photo on his PC? Put a FAO in the main forum, I'm sure he will reply (or if you have his address mail him direct).

If I had looked close enough I should have spotted that's a windscreen pillar mounted pod just above a sierra dash

Yeah you have to take the top section of the column off to fix two small screws up through into the boost gauge cup. Very easy to fit.
Cheers
