Hi guys,

I want to buy a boost guage. I really like the ones that illuminate EL, but i am open to anything that is of good quality and looks awesome. Im finding it hard to find decent stuff locally... maybe i need to buy from overseas?

Im just after a single gauge for boost and will most likely mount on the dash infront of steering wheel, it behind the steering wheel so i see it thru thr hole you know? Dont want trouble off the coppers!

Cheers

Rob

Ok i am very interested in getting the Black face Apexi EL mechanical. Anyone know somewhere decent priced that sells it? Nengun are out of stock.

Also, is there any significant downside to mechanical instead of electronic for the gauge?

I have a no-brand hand-me-down boost gauge at the workshop - it came off my car; rattles when on boost; has scratches on the cup and the nipple where the vacc line goes on is busted. Yours for $5.00 (which is 50% off what I paid)

The buyer of this item will be the 4th owner - it's been a good gauge; it's served us all well (kinda)

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
