Just fitted a Blitz R115 Boost Gauge today INSERT INTO post VALUES (see pic below) but mine is the black faced version.

To be honest it was easier than I had anticipated to fit. For now I have put it in a 52mm dashboard pod but allowed enough slack in the electrics and pipe to move it to a pillar pod later when/if I add more gauges.

Oh.. I like that... very nice mate :)

How much does it cost?
What does it act like, when you release your foot where does the needle go back to, 0? and then go to -1.0? when the engine is off? how high does it go when your foot is welded to the floor?

Mark - cost me £77 + £7 for the dashboard pod. The needle is at -0.6 bar on idle and not really floored it as only had a quick go but got it to +0.5/+0.6 'ish at the time - Barry says +0.7 is the max anyhow. Sits at zero when engine off.

Barry - answered that one above mate :D On dashboard for now but left enough slack in the pipe and electrics to move it to a pillar pod later when/if I get some more gauges. Particularly interested in an oil pressure gauge.

That's not a bad price! I was expecting something like £120 or something knowing what Blitz and HKS are like.

What does the red SP filter look like amongst the rest of the engine bay.. pics?:)

I run my 96Legnum at just under 1.0bar INSERT INTO post VALUES (13psi); using a simple gated bleed valve made by a company called 'turbosmart'. Literally a 1min installation. Have never had any problems.
My brother inlaw runs his 97galant at 1.0barINSERT INTO post VALUES (14psi) and with only an aftermarket air filter ran a 14.01second quarter mile last Sat. Never had any problems.
