My new stealth boost gauge.....thanks Bollas!!

Busa196 · 10-14-2007, 07:46 PM

Bollas put one of these in his car a couple of months ago.....once I saw it I had to have one

. It's small (the size of a quarter as per the below pic) and completely incognito....unless your in the car or standing behind with the top off. I like my ride to be "stealth" like that

.

Thanks to Bollas for a little ingenuity and taking the time to help me out

Nice mod!! Where did you get the gauge? I would be interested in doing something similar

kinda hard to hide the whistle of the blower though.

Can you see it okay? How about at night? Pretty stealthy.

Sorry, don't mean to be negative but how effective can it be when it is that small? How do you see it at night. It is "cute" but not sure how realistic!

It's not the size of the of the gage it's the motion of the of the needle.
This is a industrial gage and is right on the money.
I have it on my vette as well and it is very accurate and realistic

Did this to keep it out of the way as I dont drive around looking at it when I am on it. It's a hand full just keeping it on the road with this much horsepower but I guess when you have less you have more time to look at the gage

"Busa" Your welcomed

I guess my eye site would be challenged at that size. I need a much larger gauge with digtal numbers and someone reading them out to me!

Man, I'm a little worried about you folks that can't see a read something the size of a quarter less than 12" from your eyes?? Anyway, it's completely "functional" for me.....I can see it, and it accurately reads boost. Pretty simple.

You're probably right, it's probably pretty easy to see since its so close. It just looks really puny in the pictures.

Cool for sure
