Yeah, that is pretty cool, not exactly what I had in mind. For one thing, it appears tha gauge increments are not backlit..and yeah, no vacuum and in bar vs psi. But bar works better for the size of the gauge...Keep the ideas coming...

lol, i like the guage face... you are measuring bar's of supra apparently? you didnt stick with the turbine logo...

Yeah I'm not tryin to criticize his design.. hell its the most creative idea I have seen so far. I do think that is should look as clean and as stock as possible. Having the turbin symbel would take it a step futher...I'm still looking for ideas. I plan on starting at the end of this month.
Great idea, I had planed to put in a Apexi mechanical boost gauge using the method shown on the 92 Motec Supra page :

now THAT looks AWESOME!!
+1 on interest for a replacement!!
LMK duloblast25, I was just thinking how much I hated how my stock gauge just jumps off the chart right when my 1j spools up..I def. need a replacement, and wanted to keep it stock, this would be perfect.

oh man! thats what ive been wanting to do for years now. i just could never bring myself to cut up an aftermarket guage or another guage cluster but im really wanting to do it again.
but i need to find a boost guage thatll go up to 40psi. plus, id want it to be electric. an electric guage SHOULD be shallower to mount. plus, you could use the exisiting wiring in the car. just connect the stock turbo pressure sensor connector to the aftermarket sensor.
i figure id do the same for the oil pressure and coolant temp.
but, who would do guage faces for us...?

well look like enough interested is generated. I will get started next week. I do like the idea of the 40 psi and the electric gauge...the idea of cutting a stock cluster does suck. I know a good 40 psi elect gauge will cost plenty..
well, i could settle for a 36psi guage... since the T88 i have doesnt do shit over 36.7psi. and the HX35 i wanted to run as a temporary solution to fix my slow car can self-destruct at 35psi and over.

yes, I'm having a gauge custom made. trying to find a fabricator to do +-40 psi. Looks like we may have to settle for +- 30 psi.

thats great news!
+- 30 is definitely enough for me, I look forward to some updates!!
my fellow fabrictor is stll working on a 7m to 1uz adapter that hes gotton behind on. Over a month behind.
Whwn he finishe he will continue helping me with the gauge.
