The boost gauge is in! The installation was easy, the hardest part is feeding the hose down from where the gauge is housed. Just a tip for anyone fitting there's, don't use a screw driver to remove the old cover and traction control/fog light switch assembly, use a credit card or something similar this way you won't damage the dash.

I'm really happy with the finished product. I showed a mate who thought I was stupid for getting a boost gauge and he even admitted it looks really good, it looks like it was originally factory fitted.

It's interesting to see when the boost comes on and how it builds up with throttle application.

I give Gauge Works a big... :banghead:

alxr6t, so where are the :thumbsup: ???

I figured there's already enough pics of the gauge floating around here. I'm sure mine looks the same as them.

Looks like the colour match is perfect.

The colour of mine isn't quite right. Very hard to notice though.

Has any1 fitted the gauge in a ute where there is no traction control switch to plug into? I haven't tried to fit mine yet just wondering if there is much of a difference.

Once again Thanks Phantom it arrived today looks great

I fitted my gauge over Easter, took less than an hour. The colour of the panel is not quite right and I am going to call Gauge Works to see if they can better match what I had. The colour code on the panel supplied does not match the original one (there's only about one shade in it so if nothing can be done I won't be too bothered).

Looks great at night with the blue lighting matching the blue used around the radio & heater controls.

It's interesting to see the gauge in action; there should be a stop so the needle doesn't go back past "10" inHg" (driving at any constant speed the needle just sits at about 7 o'clock where there's Gauge Works logo and no number). Except when it's in boost the next best it looks is with the engine switched off because at least then it sits on "0". Does everyone else's behave this way?
