I'd love a set of XR6 Turbo logo ones but fark me not for the price. $150 for all 3 China spec gauges is all I could justify.

I think Steve is referring to RaceTech gauges. I ran the same gauges in my BA and they were great for what they cost. Also from all the logging I was capable of doing, they were pretty accurate too.

They have an ebay store that can be found here: http://stores.ebay.com.au/saleshma/

Best photo I could dig up of the old girl showing the gauges.

Indeed I am, you put me on to them! My boost gauge is way off (reads 25PSI at 17PSI as read at XFT) but haven't bothered to investigate if it's the sensor unit or maybe even the inline air filter. Was better when new though and also reads almost 3PSI when car is off now! But for the price it's a winner. oh and one of the 3 has has an LED or two fail so the blue is a bit more purple in my higher oil temps :)

Pics from when new:

Electrical boost gauge? Could be loose connection, my plug was loose at the back and it was reading 10psi higher the whole time, thought I had overboost problem!!! Now it's holding in tight with trusty electrical tape

Maybe but it's like a % out thing. Basically climbs at a faster rate than the actual boost so not as bad at lower levels. It's actually fine as the warning light comes on at about "25" PSI, so I know I'm being naughty and loading up the auto too much in higher gears seeing as that is like 17 (tuned to target 15).

I repainted one of my wheels yesterday and one today

I bogged up the gutter rash on all four a year ago and have only gotten around to painting them today.

one is a picture of one of the unpainted wheels which all four look liked like and the other the finished product of the one I did this morning

I will do the rest another weekend and upload more pictures

and the centre cap is missing because all the clips behind it broke when it came off, I have ordered a new pair that should be here this week and should look alot better

In the last couple of days I've got a new clutch (mal wood option 3+) and drained my diff oil and replaced it with some Redline Heavy Shockproof oil. Seems to have made things a little quieter.
