Default The only one is the VDO unit...

...it's used in the boost gauge kits offered by <a href="http://www.supremepowerparts.com">SPP</a> and <a href="http://www.awe-tuning.com">AWE</a>. Click <a href="http://www.extrememotorsports.com/g2cat/bstgauge.htm">here</a> for more info on the VDO gauge. It does what you are asking for: matched '00 lighting, reads vac, and can read close to 2 bar~28 psi. Another you can think about is the SPI gauge, but has an amber backlighting and prolly won't match '00 lighting that well.

Default Omori Meter makes some that match very well...

they make 52mm mechancial and electric or 60mm mech. or electric with peak hold/warning.... and you can use them in the SPP kit or any other pod that matches the gauge size.

this is a 60mm electric with peak hold/warning...

Default install was pretty easy...

took me about 3 hours taking my time following directions. I have the 60mm #ECO-217-BZ (with red lighting black face) on the top right of <A HREF="http://www.omorimeter.co.jp/catalog-5.html">this page</A>. If you want a 52mm gauge to fit the SPP 52mm A-pillar pod you might consider #ECO-117-BZ (with red lighting and black face) on the top left of <A HREF="http://www.omorimeter.co.jp/catalog-2.html">this page</A>.

Default How is the fit and finish of the SPR kit...stupid question but...did it match your interior color?

Trying to decide between SPR and Sal R's write up on an A-pillar boost gauge


Quick Reply: anyone with a boost gauge that matches the '00 backlighting?
