Right, it's they buying bits time of the month :)

What are people using to monitor their boost pressure?

I need an oil and boost gauge, but only need a boost gauge that reads upto 1bar (less if possible) as I only plan to run 6psi.

Cheers!

I'm using a fluid filled jobbie from collins.. only because I kept in from the S12 breaker though

theres a guy on ebay selling a turbodisplay unit, gives boost and other info , not that cheap but quite coolio though.

mini oil pressure switches are available in 6 psi, maybe you could use one to run a warning lamp and/or overboost protection ( spark cut )

The emerald software allows you to display inlet man pressure so maybe thats the way forward for setting up dude ??

Still no MS :cry:

I had one of those, got it from ebay (White boost gauge, not an emerald system)

Pretty good and fairly cheap.

I need some, but not sure which ones to buy.......

My MS covers the A/F ratio, built in, but it would be nice to have oil temp, boost and oil pressure....so maybe I'll get a set......

anyone know where to get a good deal on gauges?

Ebay is one...........
