(Not 100% sure on that) which makes the gauges read a bit over half..Just wanted to know how much "psi" it would be at the top end of the gauge..Peter..

I only guessed this after seeing pics of the new FG dash as I think that gauge shows 1 bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those gauges you see are supplied through 'ozegauge dot com dot au', made by a company called 'Auto Gauge' in Taiwan. They fit in with the FPV blue etc pretty well and come in metric units unlike Autometer Cobalt etc. That said, the Autometers are a top gauge when it comes to build quality and function. The only criticism of those you see in the vid is that you can hear the movement at startup. I got Oil temp, oil pressure and boost.The tripod you see can be got from Pole Position Auto in the forum sponsors section.
