Look here... http://s809.photobucket.com/albums/zz

you can have either push buttons or warning lights.
I will get a pic of mine at night as the instruments backlights now all match the switch colours too !
Available from Demon Tweeks etc...

Got mine from a stand at goodwood. its a switch with boost on it which lights up along with back light when pressed.
it was with dials the same as on our nobs so not sure but it could be the same make. As steve said they also make warning lights etc which look good
Im not sure how much they go for but i paid £20

Is it wired up to change the boost pressure you are running and what is it connected to?

Yes its high/low boost. its connected to the boost solinoid. it works as normal switch just putting a breake in the live fed to the solioid when swiched off which makes boost run at acuator strength.
So my low boost is .3 bar(actuator strenght) and high boost is .9 bar(what solinoid is set at)

Excellent stuff, has anyone found an easy way of re-attaching the dash panel as it's a real pain removing and a bigger pain re-attaching that panel!

I have incorperated this into the design and just need to make sure
Its robust enough before offering them for sale.
If you may be interested in one then start a list as they probably
could be cheaper if he makes a few in one go !!
