Boost gauge installation OEM look
Right ive decided to go one step further with a digital boost gauge installation. Bought a tyre pressure gauge(yes this has been done before on here)
got this gauge coming then ill be taking in apart

and eventually im hoping it will look something like this

will be over a long time due to exams and finding a spare dials to practice on

Re: Boost gauge installation OEM look
looks nice but i think would look better if the clocks had the blue VW style display

Re: Boost gauge installation OEM look
Can you change the bulbs on the 306's to make them blue?

simon that idea is in pipeline to convert it all to blue leds
i.e. metal monkey dials

either like that but blue obviously or the halo version

will look really trick when its done seen a few metal monkey dials in 306s and they aways look the best far better than removing the filters on standard dials

Re: Boost gauge installation OEM look
just one thing you gonna have enough room in the back there to run the pipework through . . . just remember longer pipework means less acurate readings
Re: Boost gauge installation OEM look
be same amount of pipework if not shorter then if i was to put the boost gauge in a vent
Re: Boost gauge installation OEM look
done some more work today
first job was to take the clocks out and work out how i was going to do this, struck a problem straight away,a shed load of plastic so had to work out how to run it through the clocks, idea came through using one of the dis used bulb holders

had to make it slightly bigger hole in order to get the small pressure circuit board through then reasemble the other side


secured the main board itself down so i could work out where to make the hole in my dails

started to make the hole,obviously i need to make it larger but ran out of time for the day so had to reasemble it all


also swopped some red dials over i found
