    VDO Boost gauge(s) to match original gauges.

    As per title I'm after one of the VDO boost gauges with a face that matches the other Aux gauges, a center vent holder would be nice as well.

    A mate is also after one I believe, so am actually after two.

    I make these but don't have any base gauges at the mo. I can supply and fit the faces if you can find the gauge - VDO 150-121. I usually get them from the US.

                  Black VDO gauge to 3 bar here, along with cheaper white and black faced Revotec 2.5 bar ones or even Stack or TIM ones to 2 bar from Demon Tweeks:

                  White VDO boost gauges don't seem to exist, I've been hunting high and low for one.

                      Cracking Andy, nice one

                      I'll hunt around for the best price on the gauges with postage from the USA, how much would you like for the white faces and fitting mate?

                      It'll be two possibly three gauges.

                      Drop me a PM if you want.

                        Nice one Charlie, yeah, white faced VDO boost gauges are hard to find, there is or at was the 'Vision' range but they only showed boost not vacuum as well.

                        The only way to get a VDO one to match the Aux gauges perfectly like the one in my Coupe is to get a converted one from Andy or get lucky and pick one up second hand, there's been a few group buys over the years so they do pop up for sale. Not seen one for quite a while, one sold with it's holder on eBay for about £50 last autumn, I was going to bid on it but forgot to as I didn't need it at the time.

                          I see, well I may resort to an expensive but sensitive AEM one to 2.4 bar:



                          or if needs require a 4.1 bar:



                          I'll see what Will thinks, gonna go see him now.

                            I'd say your M Reg car will probably have slightly different requirements gauge wise compared to a stock example.

                            Would you like me to order you one of the VDO 150-121's to have converted by Andy?
