I have a chip ready to go into my car but I don't have a boost gauge and I'm not sure what is a good make gauge to buy or where's best to buy one?

I have around £30 to spend on the gauge itself, I do quite like the look off the white luminescent gauges but then again I like the look of the stealth type gauges that can't be seen when the engine is off.

I have seen quite a few on ebay

Anybody got any suggestions please?

Thanks

 

Not fitted yet but I have prosport ones on the way. About £40.

Where did you find these gauges mate?

 

i just brought a set with warning lights from xyberautos.

XyberAutos

very reasonable price and are comparable to defi's

 

Thanks for the replies so far guys.

Anybody else who can advise me on a boost gauge for my Classic?

 

I got one of the smoked ones from ebay (powertek) sounds like the ones you like as its dark until I turn the electrics on. very cheap about £40 inc delivery for gauge and manual boost valve.
The service is the best service I have ever had from anybody. A chap called Ian Burns is the man to speak to and is email addy is powertek@btinternet.com

 

Defi

 

Xyberautos is where i got mine!

 

If you can get them for 30 quid, I'll have one

 

Are the boost gauges you have got mechanical or electrical?

I understand mechanical is better????

Anybody shed any light on this?

 

I got a Swoosh gauge of ebay and it looks nice and nice price to

 

electrical gauge supposed to be better but apparently it doesn't really matter for boost but i was recommended to go for electrical for oil temp/pressure so went for electrical boost to.

 

I have TRUST gauges... recalls peak, gives warning light and some other thing without the need of the control box.

 

sorry bud missed out on the £30 bit
Yeah Defi's are a tad over priced, even second hand ones

 

LOL @ 'Defis a tad over priced'...just a bit!

I've also got a set of three Prosport gauges, including electrical boost. For the money, you just can't say no. I'm all for quality when it's necessary and for many years I swore by Autometer. But the fact is the Prosport ones work, no better and no worse than any others and they have all the functions that seem to make Defis worth spending hundreds of pounds on. Get a Prosport electrical boost and you can't go wrong. Electrical isn't really needed with a boost gauge unless you want the peak hold/warning/memory functions etc. With liquid temps and pressures you always want go for electrical.
