Boost gauge
« on: May 16, 2020, 07:47:48 pm »
Few questions on boost gauges if anyones got any experience with them

Is it worth spending £90 or so on a newsouth boost gauge or will a cheaper ebay gauge do the same job?

Also ive got automatic headlights does anyone know which wires(colours) i can tap into so the gauge lights up with my headlights or sidelights..

Lastly whats the max boost pressure you would expect on a k03.

Thanks

i have both oil pressure and oil temp gauges from Newsouth. The blue leds in them is quite a close match to the rest of the instruments. I still needed to buy a couple of bits to fit them, and that was after checking with Awesome that the gauges came with everything.

The black circular trim around the gauges are not secured so do occasionally do fall out. I'd give them a 6/10 as they are pricey but not very well made and the colour of the leds in not correct.
