Boost gauge recommendations

[RyanG]

Hi,

I've just ordered a Nomad A pillar with single gauge pod, so now I need a boost gauge to put into it. At the moment I'm looking at the Autogauge boost gauge from Halfords as I like how it matches the LCR clocks. Is there anything better for the same price? £30ish. What's everyone else using?

Thanks
Ryan

I bought the Halfords Autogauge boost, but i am now struggling to find a the right Oil Temp gauge to match it with.

Second the autogauge. Was worried about getting cheap halfords one but works ok and the match is good. I painted the bevel black to match.

SPA gauges in mine, not cheap tho but has a few cool functions like boost alarm for overboost and max boost record lots of features I've forgotten, has a digital boost sender that fits into boost pipe to get actual accurate boost pressure, I love my spa gauges

Autometer phantoms for me. Match the interior and are mega accurate.

I've got a Defi BF gauge in mine. Just like its clean looks and is a stepper gauge with a control unit for overboost and recording the boost levels. Not cheap though.

Thanks guys, they all look great.

Is there a way of setting this up on a 2004 lcr?
Maybe via VCDS?

As above mines a 2001 LC so is all standard. I don't have mpg or anything which is Probadly a good thing!

Autogauge Stepper series. Got them fitted in my car and they are great.

Cheers guys, the Nomad pod arrived today so I will order one by the end of the day. The defi ones look great but I'd like one to match the LCR clocks and look as oem as possible. I think I will end up going for the autogauge one at Halfords.

My vote would have been for a liquid gauge lol

£30 quid gauge or a £200 + LG oh go on then i have both
