    WTB: 2.5bar boost gauge

    Need a boost gauge that goes to 2.5bar.
    Must have white background.

    There's a 3 bar VDO effort.

      I had a racetech one in my S2 avant, white background, worked pretty well.

      I think the one fitted to the RS2 is a better match for that stock look in the RS2, will try and find a receipt in the pile and find out exactle what it is.

        It's one from Gerd, Ross. The same as what I have.

          That's the same base unit that I use, just with the zero point moved. The disadvantage is that when on full vacuum, the needle will be by the right hand screw. I can supply a 2 bar RS2 style face that you can set the 0 point to -0.5 bar but that's not ideal...

            Aha, so the VDO "RS2" gauges do go to 2.5 bar, I seemed to remember, but wasn't sure.
            One of those would look very good indeed, so I'll see if I can get hold of one.

            The Race Tech is very nice too. I can get one of those for £39 off Ebay, so that is an option too.
            It looks very similar to my 2bar Autometer gauge, which looks good in the car, a little more modern than the VDO, but still blends in nicely with the other gauges.
