Boost Gauge in Soarer's

Hi all soarer owners, (those who are soarerless are unfortunate... but welcome to comment)
I'm about to install a boost controller and thought it a wise move to have a boost gauge first so I don't kill my precious 1J.
Of those of you who have a boost gauge can you please tell me
A) What type of gauge you have.
B) Where have you mounted it.
C) Does it look out of place.
I want this thing to be as descrete as possible and to match the asthetics of the car
Your thoughts and experiences would be greatly apreciated.
If anyone could go to the trouble of taking/posting a photo that would be even better.
Thanks,
|

I've been looking for a guage for ages. Been trying to look for a digital looking one, so it matches the dash. A girl i know has one in hers (even though its a NA 3 litre!!) and it kinda looks out of place compared to the dash.
I was considering getting the AVCr boost controller for the guage that has. I've also looked at the HKS CAMP system (way too much $$$$), the Defi HUD guage, and another that im not sure of the brand, but it was just plain LED numbers. I really liked the HKS one but like I said way too much $$$.
Im interested to see what other people have too!

Exactly what I was thinking..... I actually typed all that up in my oringinal post, thought it was too long and deleted it.
But yeah, i had a feeling an anologue gauge would look funny amoungst all the digital goodness.

my friend has an apexi electric gauge in his pounted on the apiller. it is quite high though so it doesn't clash with the digitals. you could always get a digital boost controller but once again big $$$

Just a thought but have a look at the blitz dual turbo timer.
It has a boost gauge built in and is digital.
Comes in 2 colours too. Silver and black.

I've got an AutoMeter analogue gauge in mine (black to match interior). It's placed right near the odometer control buttons on the left of the dash. Most of the time I hardly notice it's there, but being analogue, it is different to the rest of the car.
