Had some time to kill so though I’d have a go at installing my boost gauge. I've never tried the electronic gauges and was doubtful as I’ve heard they respond slower. After installation I found it responds really well in fact faster than the mechanical ones, also happy that the illumination matches the rest of the car.

The wiring and fitting of the gauge is straight forward, the instructions are clear enough however give me a shout and i can guide you if u get stuck. The difficulty arises when routing the vacuum pipe into the car as you have to remove the wiper arm and open the ecu case to do it. its a bit fiddly, but again i can guide you through this.
