If there is no G60 clocks in place the boost pipe feed will have no where to plug in.
If thats the case and you have no pipes to tell the clocks what boost your running then I would go for after market boost gauges like these!
You can have only three in place for that OEM look!
VOLTS
OIL
BOOST
TEMP
Get rid of the VOLTS and replace with BOOST clocks!
The one I got was ripped out fo an Audi and easy to pump in either dash or console positioning!

Well the G60's have a boost pipe from ECU to tell it how much its boosting don't think 8V or 16V clocks have this little boost nipple behind the clocks!  :undecided:

My 16valve clocks have got like a green box thing with a vacume pipe connencted to it. Sits behind the mfa screen. Sounds familier?

Yeah ones for the rev meter mate there is another for boost?
I'm sure the G60's clocks are different from the 16v ones ask for some pictures of G60 owners and compare, but I'm sure they run different part numbers aswell  :undecided:

So a quick update on mine, Friday is the day of work for the car. Right well first things first and that is to fit my new exhaust system so this hopefully shouldnt take long. The next stage is i might be fitting some uprated shocks and springs to mine, that is if i actually buy them but they look good and i am defo swaying towards buying them. This should lower the car by about 60mm which will make it sit nice and snug. If i have time i will re-paint my calipers as they are already red and very dirty so not that noticable and as such would like to clean them up and paint them again, this probably will be done whilst i do the suspension. I am thinking that this will do for one day and a few more ticks off the list i have. The next stage is to detail all the engine and engine bay and make it look mint  :grin:
