Hi Guys,
I have searched and not found anything about what boost gauge people have installed on their L300 and if there are any easy step by step instructions. I am very mechanically inclined and have worked on many Petrol vehicles but never owned a TD. I want to start upping the boost on my turbo closer to original specs as I live in a mountainous region and could use the extra power. But don't want to do so before getting an EGT/Pyro and boost guage. Living in Banff and would need to order in the gauge kit so if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears.

The Aubur 1812/13"s are great. EGT/Boost can be purchased online with probe/sender for @90-110. Ebay's a good source. Check my pics if you want to see what the look like installed in an L300.

Hi thanks for the tips. I have been looking on Ebay but haven't really come across anything. Couldn't link to your photos could you send me a link? Thanks.

Here you go:

A really cool added benefit of this gauge is they can be used for both Boost/EGT or Coolant temp simply by getting the appropriate probe/sending unit if you need something different at a later time.

You can get 3 in 1 gauges here:

I have one, but I am still in the process of installing it. Funny really, as I bought it right after I got my Delica, but it still is sitting in the original box!

Rich D had one of these too, but his failed soon after installation, so the quality on these is probably not the best. Nice that they show three things, not so nice that they may die after a few months!
