Boost gauge pod/holder idea!

[Damoegan]

Ric, do you know of someware that do a single pilar pod?

I realy like the white defi's with the red needle.

Sorry missed "singular" A pillar pod. Mine's a double, I’ve even seen triple.

I realy like the white defi's with the red needle.

Expensive though. Defi BF which do a ceremony like the ones rash has posted from ebay but they are over £100 a pop. + you need a controller unit.

Yea it was a single one that I was after, thats why I'm making one from a blanking plate mate

 

[Damoegan]

What do you's think of this one as a match? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Swoosh-60mm-F...ryZ72215QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Lokks fine, but it's all about personal choice.

Hi rash.

What boost gauge did you get to go in the custom pod/holder that we are making??

Cant finde any that I like that are not realy expensive!

Just wondering what you've went for mate

damegeon your a dohnut mailing me and you cant even receive p.m's

i havnt actually bought them yet but my car isnt here for anouther week or so as its at jbs getting fixed but when i get paid il be buying these puppies

they will fit with a nice 8mm gap at each end and gap between each guage job done rics measurments

 

[Damoegan]

Must have a look at my PM setting

That's the boost gauge I fancy getting to mate

I'll post some pics up once I get it all sorted. Just need the gauge now, got the blanking plate and got the hole marked out just dont want to drill it out till I can measure the exact size of the gauge to make it a good tight fit.

[rashcupra]

doesnt glow red, glows *super bright white* hope it dont look non oem or like a torch does look smart otherwise

why not go for three guages like me

 

[beezasport]

ive got these gauges in my leon.....look alright and do the job..i'm going to change to autogauge though as the amber doesn't match my dash...i dunno what colour yours is. the amber glow is more amber/yellow than the red in the leon..

 

[rashcupra]

got any pics?? did you buy the three set??

 

[diss_50]

bump - Im interested! Currently eyeing up the ones Rash got

 

[Damoegan]

My boost gauge should be there when I get in from work as I had an email saying that it has been delivered and I got the one that rash is after http://www.rspec.co.uk/index.php?ma...id=345&zenid=3836487e29cb4ccd0af082cb338a93b2

I shoild have it all sorted and in by the weekend so I'll post some pics up when I do.

TBCupraT - How hard were they to wire up? How good were the instructions that came with it?

Cant wait to get it fitted.

 

[TBCupraT]

Well if your electrical savvy then it's a piece of piss.

I had to extend the power cables as they were way to short to connect from the headlight switch.

The instructions are very easy but it would help to have a multimeter to ensure your soldering into the correct wires in on the light switch loom.

I have to say that it's very responsive and I'm quite surprised how good it is for the cost.

I've jus got home from work to finde my boost gauge there. Ripped the packet oppen took the gauge out and its damaged so its goe to go back.

I rely like the look of it though. Looks like a piese of pi*s to fit to

My sport has the additional oil temp and volt gauges. I was thinking of replacing the volt one with a boost gauge.......does anybody know if this has been done before? They're quite small though so I dont think it'll be an easy job.

 

[rashcupra]

yeah is possible would need top rip the dash apart and calv up the speedso pannel could easily be done just depends if you have the guts

 

[Tall-Paul]

erm............I might give awesome-gti a ring. I really want one though and the volt meter seems a bit of a waste......why couldnt seat have made a boost gauge
