The GlowShift Tinted 7 Color boost gauge is a 2-1/16 inch mechanical gauge that reads turbo or supercharger boost from 0 to 30 PSI and vacuum from -30 to 0 inHg. Mechanical means it runs off a silicone hose teed into a vacuum source rather than a sensor and wiring harness, which makes it simpler to install and independent of the car's electronics. Seven solid backlight colors plus two cycle modes let you match factory dash lighting instead of fighting it. The kit ships complete with a 6-foot silicone hose, T-fitting, hose clamps, power wire, visor, and mounting bracket. Best fit: a turbo or supercharged car where you want to see boost in real time, and drivers who care that the gauge does not clash with the dash at night.
Pros
- Mechanical operation, so it needs no sensor or electronic tie-in to the car's systems
- Seven backlight colors plus two cycle modes to match factory dash lighting
- Kit includes hose, T-fitting, clamps, wire, visor, and bracket, so no separate parts run
- Reads vacuum as well as boost, which is useful for diagnosing leaks
Cons
- Mechanical gauges route a boost line into the cabin, which some owners will not want regardless of how well it is clamped
Frequently asked questions
Does it work on a naturally aspirated car?
It reads vacuum on any engine, which is useful for diagnostics, but the 0 to 30 PSI boost half only does something on a turbo or supercharged engine.
Is this electronic or mechanical?
Mechanical. It reads pressure directly through a silicone hose teed into a vacuum source, so it does not need a sensor or an electronic feed.
What is included in the kit?
A 6-foot silicone hose, a 1/8 inch T-fitting, two hose clamps, 2 feet of power wire, a gauge visor, a mounting bracket with hardware, and instructions.
How do you change the backlight color?
The color is selected through the power wiring, cycling through seven solid colors and two automatic cycle modes.
