I found that Autogauges were properly cheap and nasty. Pretty much anything else will be an improvement.

I'm using a combination of Tim and SW in mine. They're not too expensive and are all doing what they should still.

Its with asking at this stage if you have it plumbed in properly? Ie on the inlet manifold after the carb butterfly.

Its in the right place but you have mix matched bits for the pipe, try and get a single length of tube for it!
I did have a tim boostgauge somewhere i got it for 20 pounds and worked on my mums car when i tested it.

Pull the adapater apart (the one in the centre of the manifold that the small pipe and brake servo connects to) and check it doesn't have a one way valve fitted inside it - I dismantled one a while ago and there was a small valve that prevented pressure going down the line, only allowed vacuum....

if your running standard boost it would barely show on a 2 bar gauge
if your buying another gauge anyway buy a 1bar or ~15spi one

Yes i moved to the darkside *happy*
