It basically sits where the Fairmont clock can fit and when you put your foot down and the turbo kicks in it displays the boost coming on as a reading in pounds... People generally get these gauges in turbo cars so that they can see the boost coming on correctly when required especially when people are running high boost levels.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeke zeke Member 792 Member For: 21y 7m 17d Location: Adelaide Posted 03/02/04 06:05 AM Share Posted 03/02/04 06:05 AM Sorry to disappoint, Vik. Bit too busy yesterday and today to take the bait.Anyway, a bit of healthy scepticism helps keep things in perspective.Let's not forget it's also a vacuum gauge. I remember seeing an article in a Wheels or Modern Motor mag from the 50's showing how a vacuum gauge can help diagnose about 20 different engine malfunctions. I'll try to find the article and post it out of curiousity, but I suspect it's relevance to modern engines is limited. Some people here have posted concerns about whether or not their car is coming on boost properly. I find it hard to imagine the "seat of the pants" test not giving a definitive answer to this whenever the loud pedal is stomped on. However a boost gauge would confirm that it's all the way it should be (or not as the case may be).I endorse all the positive comments here, especially that the gauge does look good, particularly at night. Went out to dinner with the neighbours and had fun realising he was tryng to tell the time from the gauge on the way home. Confirmed my prediction that it wouldn't be long before someone did that. CheerszekePS Got a phone call on my mobile today from Luke to say my replacement gauge is on its way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car Toys also sell twin gauge pods that mount where the analouge clock is as well as twin A-pillar gauge pods (which I'll end up getting with a oil-pressure gauge to make sure things are going smoothly there!Just a suggestion for those seeking an alternative to this as the thread is titled boost gauges Hope the mods don't mind a slight hi-jack!Cheers,Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
