    Recalibrating Stock Boost Gauge

    I last did electronics in 2000, so i'm very rusty unless its something as simple as a voltmod for a motherboard ;) Still, very handy to know!

    Recalibrating Stock Boost Gauge

    Pi - thats pretty good, although calibrating it to 8 and 16 would require a different set of component values - its 14 at the top mark and 7 at the middle for a reason :) Where'd you get the turbo symbol from? I've got that font, i'll install it later on :) BTW - Speedhut are considering...

    Nice leather, very clean in and out, but lose the stripes down the side! Here's mine: This is all pre-rebuild, i'm still waiting on some during and post rebuild pics :/ I'm going to grab some 18AWG wire and re-wire the whole stinking loom, right back to the ECU.

    gauge cluster...i thought i would have a good day

    Um, if you have an N/A tach, it wont work with a turbo engine. If you have a Turbo tach, it'll work with either.

    Recalibrating Stock Boost Gauge

    I did find a Japanese company....but KM/H only and none for the Mk3 - Mk4 only... Still, i've fired off an email to Speedhut as they list UK spec MR2 gauges and KM/h ones....so its worth a shot...even if its $200 and they need my existing gauges, thats no problem.

    I doubt they'd do them for RHD....i need to find some Australian or Japanese company, more likely.

    Recalibrating Stock Boost Gauge

    I'm trying to figure out how to get a set of gauge faces knocked up as a one-off...there are companies here that do Reverse EL gauge sets...but they dont look as good as the Alfa-Otto ones... I want black faces with the EL effect at night, in red and blue...
