G'day all,

Looking at putting a few more gauges into the Defender.

Was thinking a boost gauge wouldn't hurt.

What boost gauges do people use? Anyone got a part number?

Isspro (USA) used to do a nice combination pyrometer and boost gauge mostly used in US origin heavy trucks. We fitted them here on Oz built Whites.

I run Speco in the Rangie and currently installing VDO in the D110 - want to keep them all the same.

I have found Speco good quality (Taiwanese VDO) and a good price

.....also, for the sake of us guy's on dial-up, maybe you can refrain for reposting everything - especially pics, they take ages to load, some of us are not as fortunate, and as such do not have the choice of BB etc, yet!........thanks.

Ahhh, it was a small pi$$ take at steve for having a boost gause that reads vacuum.....when diesels dont produce a vacuum as they're open to atmosphere at all times (yes I'm weel aware that a few use a butterfly;))...when quite obviously as he'd already stated that he got it cheap, just a small attempt at light hearted humour

Yes boss, sorry to have qouted the pics again, I'll be sure to refrian from it in the future, having only had "BB" myself for just over 4 months, I sympathise Oh such muchly
