finally fitted my boost gauge

[nip]

hi me ole muckers, ive finally had a few hours spare today so i cracked on and fitted my boost gauge i wanted a standard look , so i bought a vdo whiteface one.

What do ya think

Same gauge as I bought, it's a good one. Did you have a ny problems installing it or did you get the proper kit? I wish I did the latter!

I like the location, just don't get transfixed on it when you're trying to get overboost in 4th!!!!

all the way down there ? are you going to look at the gauge or the road ?

cheers dpi i bought the fitting kit, i bent the rear of the mounting plate so i could mount it all the way in, its easy to see. Volcano thats why i wear glasses so one set will be on the gauge and other on road lol nah its the only place it looked standard matey btw i got this for u matey

I always thought it would be good to have it mounted in the dash where the coolant temp gauge is now, then move said coolant gauge to where the volt meter is and just dispense with said volt meter.

cheers dan thats a good idea i was also thinking that might try it

I would imagine the wiring in the dash might get a bit complicated though? I was never one for wiring...

[nip]

ur right , im pretty good with wires, il leave it for a bit in this place then if it does me noggin in il move it there matey

Nice one nip, same guage as mine I am just playing around trying to get the light to match are redish glow at the moment. On your dash you have a red light next to your head light adjuster, does it do any thing? mines

cheers terry, the red light is for my alarm matey, the light in the gauges im going to put an orange bulb to try to blend it in a bit.

But i dont think it will really get any better tho, as its lit completly different to the original gauges , let me know if u get urs better cheers son

[terrybullwon]
