Boost Gauge - What do you use?

[dmmsta]

I'm looking into getting a Boost & Oil Temp gauge, plus A-Pillar pod.

I've already looked at the Nomad Pod's and after reading what everyone has said I'm probably going to opt for one of them, but it's the gauge's that i'm insure about.

I've seen these THESE on eBoo, but not sure about the quality.

I've had a bit of a hunt for Autometer gauges, but can't seem to find the "Stealth" gauges that I'd like to get (black / blank when ign is off, lite up with ign on).

Can anyone either vouch for those ones that are on eBoo, or point me in the direction of some good alternatives.

Quite a few people are using Auto Gauge gauges I think.

The one with the white backing matches the Leon dials nicely.

 

[dmmsta]

I'll have a hunt for those! Cheers for the info.

dmmsta, one thing to be careful about is the twin gauge pods

this was quite obstructive in my Ibiza as the pod higher up does reduce your view, especially when approaching roundabouts etc

I found this to be quite a pain after a while, and the standard pillar without any gauges can reduce sight already for such aspects like cyclists

I understand your point though where the oil temp gauge is very handy for telling you when your car is warmed up, but I use the 10 minute rule - not going above 3000rpm till at least ten minutes

the quality of nomads guages is excellent though, so you won't be disappointed

those are some lovely gauges, where did you buy that from?

the gauge with the multi colours comes as standard then?

 

[olaf]

Not mine mate.

Just remeber someone posting up some pics a few weeks back and managed to find them using our friend search!

Oil temp and boost guages are on my long to do list!

And I believe the colour changes when you press the button on the guage.

ha ha, don't I know it, as soon as someone shows me something shiny or something to enhance performance I like to have it (if affordable)

besides a boost gauge is a must anyway to see what I am boosting - look its my way of justifying things OK

hmmm maybe its different in the Leon, but with the Ibiza it could be quite intrusive and would obstruct your vision
