im guessing all you want is a guage that looks flashy and moves around alot, true?
boost is the pressure built up from an exhaust driven turbine so the only gauge that would be even close to doing what you want is the manifold pressure guage.. which serves no purpose other than to rice-ify your beautiful euro
if all you want is guage that looks pretty and moves around just put a defi tacho.. defi's are prob the most "elegant" of guages
YES!!! exactly what i wanted. So it's defi's manifold pressure?? and tacho?

the defi tacho will obviously do the same as your stock tacho so all it is, is a second guage doing the same purpose as one you have from the factory so i dont see the point. but at least it will move whenever you drive.
the manifold pressure serves no real purpose, it will actually move backwards (if youve ever seen the ones in the old crappy fords and holdens) it doesnt really react to your throttle movements the way a tacho or boost guage would, but nonetheless it moves.
haha i m not getting then... save up the money for some peformance i guess lol.
K20 head!

you can actually get a mid rocker gauge which measures the ratios of calibration from you exhaust gasses. i have one and it looks great. goes between -10psi to 75ish psi. moves as the gasses calibrate in the chamber.
they are on ebay at the moment for about $125.00
hope this helps
thx heaps... :D i will take a look thanks

Plus with the smoked gauges now, they're not visible until you turn on the car. here's a pic of mine

Bright as when car is on but invisible when off
just get a vacuum gauge. the negative reading on a boost gauge is vacuum.. i think
if u look hard on ebay, ull find vacuum guages that to the right when ur in vacuum.
