« on: 27 August 2014, 20:09 »
I'm after a boost gauge. I don't want one that cost the earth just a plain and simple one that lights up blue to match the dials. I came across this one on Amazon would this be ok I like the look of it but wanted a second opinion. Thanks

If you want it to look OEM you need NewSouth gauges, failing that anything will do, and also decide if you want it to measure in BAR or PSI

Agreed, NewSouth definitely match the clocks best and my personal preference being on PSI.

also for best look get the pillar mount, the ones on top of the steering column don't look right IMHO
