Boost gauge ?

[metz]

I'm looking for a boost gauge for the g40 that lights up green to fit in with the rest of the polo dash. Any ideas chaps?

my autometer one just has a bulb in the back of it and it came with some little filter caps to put over it, one is green and one is red.

Sounds like that will do the job nicely...where do you live paul?

Is it this one? mechanical boost gauge. (Sorry im a noob at these)

yeah it's basically the same as that but white and silver.  I've had it a few years though.

I live just north of manchester, near bury.

I think I've still got the little filtery things somewhere, if I find them I can post the green one to you if you want.

Yea that be good cheers fella.
Pete did tell me what kind of gauge i needed but all his technical talk confuzzled me.

you need one that goes negative as well as positive and if you are staying g-lader then one that goes up to about 1 bar 16 psi.  If you get one reading 50psi it wont be very accurate!

the one you linked to is fine, it's exactly the same as mine but a different colour.

Cheers paul. Ahh thanks Pete now you typed slower i understand haha.
Is there anywhere down this end that sells them?

na - often the autometer z series are cheaper to get from ebay.com in the states

[hayesey]

just avoid the cheap and nasty "autogauge" rip off ones if you are looking on fleabay.  I think there's various web shops selling Autometer gauges in the UK.
