Lawsy Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hey guys, Planning on getting an aftermarket boost gauge for the glanza shorty.Going to go for a mechanical one, i know that you need to rig it up to a vacuum line but which one?If anyone could help, maybe with pictures of which pipe to join the t-piece to etc, would be much appreciated!Any recommendations on what gauge to go for?Cheers!

Jae-Glanza Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I'll be fitting mine in the next couple of days so will give you the heads up, i'm a bit unsure to what vacuum line myself though atm.Blitz/Apexi/Hks etc do good accurate gauge's but there a pain in the arse to get hold of and i don't fancy paying over £80 for a boost gauge when the £25.00 autogauge one's do the job =]I've just ordered a smoked autogauge one mate =] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
