Title: Turborevs boost gauge.
Post by: brewey on 25 April 2013, 23:10
The inner child in me keeps telling me to get a boost gauge installed so while trawling eBay I keep noticing that Turborevs do a gauge for 16quid. Has anyone used them that can shed any light on them?

I know the rule buy cheap buy twice but for the money I wondered if they're worth a shot!

I would spend more tbh, cheap ones tend to give trouble.

I did think this may be the case. I've decided to leave it for now and source the s3 braces and then probably get a newsouth one when I get around to it.

Does anyone run the digital boost gauges? I think they look quite smart.

I looked at the digi one to start with too, but then I keep thinking the newsouth one blends with the dash perfectly.
