I'd like to see what other have done with their guages.
I happen to have got this one for free from a local junkyard.

I found it in an '87 F-250 Diesel with the ATS turbo kit installed. There was also a Pyrometer but the battery fire destroyed it. They both guages by Isspro.

Looks good in the early dash. You are going to need a gauge with a higher max reading if you plan on any power modifications :cool:

No worries about the pyrometer, provided you have enough boost, the stock 10mm pump will not exceed the thermal limit of the engine.

Closer look:

Pressure is presented as BAR's instead of PSI since on Europe its more common.
Should have enough max reading for further increase of boost:D
No need to destroy anything, using strong two-side tape and its been standing there now half year as stable as it was when i putted it there.
Sorry my english.

Thanks for sharing... Thats where I have my boost gauge at the moment. Your english isn't too bad at all, its great to have a member from Europe on the board! Isn't 1 bar around 14 psi or so? The guage is a great match to the factory dash.

Yea, actually almost rightly 14, just some desimals over.
I think too it fits to original dashboard really nice.
Gauges quality is also really good, pointer isnt vibrating at all in any situation as some cheaper meters do as i have heard.
Taked pressure from hose which goes to pumps head from intake manifold with t-bit.

That is exactly the gauge I've been looking for for ages, can anyone tell me where I can get one, thanks, Aidan.

Hi guys,

Sorry for replying to an old thread, but didnt want to make a new one for just this one question.

Looking to install boost gauge on my d24t and just wanted to make sure if this is the hose where I could add my T connector to gauge?
