Gauges, AFR and Boost with Magnolia Faces and Chrome Bezel
Turbo Mini Forums

Does anybody know if its possible to get:

a) A boost gauge with a magnolia face and chrome bezel, 52mm

b) AFR gauge which can take a feed from my Emerald ECU (If at all possible) or will have to install another sensor. Ive never seen an analogue/one with a needle but a digital one would be ok if it was magnolia around the actual display bit and had a chrome bezel.

I want them to go in a 3+3 mpi dash.

Cheers for any help gents.

Short answer no, a magnolia boost gauge is not available 'off the shelf' but white or brilliant white is as close as you'll get IMO.

I converted my white boost gauge from a tacky plastic bezel to a Smiths bezel (which you can buy separately). Easy job. Did it for the AEM Wideband as well.

If you buy a Tim boost gauge, you can pull the bezel, glass and needle off and then unscrew the black dial face and make up your own magnolia face.

I did this once on a 52 mm Tim boost gauge and a 52 mm TIM tacho and they looked ok. The link to the bitmap file I created for both is in the link below, if you do decide to play around. Difficult off the shelf though.

There was a post on TM with a similar question.

I have my AEM WB sending a 0-5v signal from the gauge directly to my MS ECU for logging purposes so I'm sure it can be done with the Emerald.

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

from this it looks like the emarald takes a 0-5v input for the lamda like MS does,

so you should be able to drive it from an AEM or similar
