I bought a Prosport one off eBay, seems to work alright. Just had to run a small hose from the engine bay into the back of the gauge.

Thats nice but i reckon it might look to out of place on an Audi 100 turbo?

I'm posting from my phone just now so no pics unfortunately, but I have a Stewart Warner boost gauge (mechanical).

I got that from the states via ebay.

I've had it for a couple of years with no problems, seems reasonable quality.

RMD Gauge from Rally Design. This is their own range of gauges made by Caerbont (same people that make the Smiths gauges), and are very decent quality items.

Revotec Gauge from Rally design.

SW Gauge from Demon Tweeks

I will be soon. It's a must once you start playing biggrin Add an AFR gauge to that too.

the boost gauge off a Saab 99 Turbo would be ideal.




Here's something similar.

It should really be in Bar for the proper euro-look.

What's wrong with bar? I used to think in PSI but when I needed one bought one in bar. Somehow it's easier to read...

some great gauges mentioned, cheers, loving the saab one, nice and retro.

From some of the links have chosen this one, had some great reviews and i think will suit the Audi 100

(part number :G-B/PSI-B)

Nothing to bling and psi, nothing wrong with BAR at all, my dash already reads bar so and added gauge with psi so
i can relate the 2

I know you've already chosen one, but for the benefit of other people who are interested;

I used to have one of these in my old Calibra Turbo: http://www.apexperformance.co.uk/catalog/product_i...

It was a very well made gauge, and most importantly was very accurate. I'd recommend them highly.

They also do a black version which is a bit more subtle. (Pro comp, as opposed to Ultra Lite)
