I just got two comments on my boost gauge question, Mark questioning the
usefulness of vacuum, and Bob looking at 25psig as agricultural! My only
thoughts at this point are to make a boost gauge that looks stock, to
replace the oh-so-useful clock in the instrument cluster. The VDO Vision
series uses a lighted pointer and backlit numbers, so fits the OEM look
quite well. Their only OEM look shortcoming is the gauge face being black
with white characters.
As far as vacuum, I'd kinda like to know when I'm in a vacuum situation, and
when I'm in a boost situation, just to keep track of everything happening in
the intake, pressure-wise. As far as 25psig not being enough, I'm at a loss.
It's highly unlikely that I'll get to more than 25psig anytime soon. Is
there another gauge with the lighted pointer/backlit numbers that does a
better job range-wise that I should consider instead of the VDO 150 121?
