If you want it to match Olly , make sure you get a backlit gauge , the closest imo is the phantom 2 , similar to the phantom but backlit like your std dials. It will come with a green LED as std though , just order a red replacement off the net !

Slimjimvw, have you got phantom2 gauges in your car?
If so do you have any piccies?

 

[gazjones]

more that i like! but that is electric with a map sensor and then you run wire from that to the gauge?

 

[Bogwoppit]

Gaz, they do a mechanical one click on the left hand side.

 

[gazjones]

anyone know the price of the phantom 2 gauges?

 

[Bogwoppit]

Give Reel Steel a ring and get one imported, you know you want to!
Number is on the autometer.co.uk link.

I bought theses off flea bay.

They look like stock gauges when litup. In daylight they appear smoked. But i think the closest match would be the phantom 2's but they're not cheap.

 

[chrisbond69]

do the phantom two's look like them ones above then

Dont forget other brands such as VDO and Stewart warner:

As for Phantom2's, if you know anyone that is going on holiday in America they could always bring one back.

How weird, my girlfriend is off to Boston, MA tomorrow, but she has a shopping list longer than her arm for me anyway

Excuse the ignorance but how exactly do you connect to boost gauge up?

 

[gazjones]

if its mechanical you tap it off the hose tothe top of the dump valve and run hose off the t peice into the cabin to the gauge basically then wire it to the light and mount it

I've got this one in my A pillar but it lights up blue, with a clear bulb, its the dile that is colored and thats what I'm trying to get away from, the phantom 2's look good. Were is the cheapest place to get them from then?

 

[gazjones]

with the phamtom II gauges can you change the white light to red by changing the led? if so these would look ace and spot on with your cars dials

I found Egauges are very good , lots of my friends have used them. Also vwspeedshop are pretty cheap and based over here.

Yes , you can change the leds for red clusters , there is a online shop that are good , its in another thread but i can't find it right this second.

Like i said above , there the closest to std imho !

 

[gazjones]

had a look on egauges but is there anywhere in england that stock them saying that though with the price of the pound and dollar it works out at about 35 quid for the gauge
