Power Jet Member 151 Member For: 16y 11m 12d Gender: Male Posted 18/04/09 10:36 AM Share Posted 18/04/09 10:36 AM Hey guys,Am looking at buying a boost gauge, Oil temp and oil pressure gauge. What sort can you guys reccommend? I was looing at ozegauge.com.au but from what I have heard they are no good when the sun is out. Any ideas?Anyone selling gauges?Marty Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81313-what-gauges-does-everyone-use/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are full sweep electric and have excellent vision day & night. I have since added a resistor to the lighting as I feel they were a bit too bright. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81313-what-gauges-does-everyone-use/#findComment-863016 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why is it more expensive to have electric boost gaugegot mine from BPT in Wangara, Perth. (cheapest I could find in Aus.) check their website. Mechanical gauges have the tube run all the way in to the cabin to the gauge. Electric have the tube run to a small module that you mount in the engine bay, then three small wires run from there to the gauge. Note - these are full sweep, not half.

They're lit up white when you don't have the lights on so they're easy to see in all conditions IMO.
