Buy the single boost guage from subaru, its slightly more expensive, but its class. Fits onto the steering column shrouding(sp) and looks great.

Thumbs up

What about this:



Housing cost 2.99 and the gauge was 29.99

Can't remember at the mo' where I got it from, other than that it was online.
The illumination of the gauge was changeable to diff colours to match your dash lights. Sold the car so no longer have more details.
A doddle to fit, was accurate & looked cool.

Just remembered the gauge brand was "SPITFIRE" if that helps and it was just a standard pod.
I used a small block of thick black sponge/rubber stuff when mounting as this then moulded itself to the shape of the steering cowling when the pod was secured.

One more thing,
Some businesses must think that scooby drivers are idiots, they take a standard item and then advertise it as "for a scoob" and double the price!

I worked hard to earn the cash to buy the scoob new, I wasn't going to roll over and give it away once I'd bought the car!

Everyone that saw it said they thought is was BETTER than the Subaru version, even a m8 that had the Subaru one!
