I was looking at gauges, and wasn't sure what to go for. Don't want to spend silly money on them, but don't want crap ones either. I'm sure I've read that Nomad were ok, particularly their boost gauge, but I can't find that listed on their website anymore?

Any other recommendations?

I do quite like the Ford Racing gauges, think they're nice looking, but I don't really want white faces, as I'll be retaining the standard black dials.

I've been looking at Racetech ones, as I know someone who had some of those and was always quite happy with them. They don't look a million miles off the standard clocks either.

Other suggestions have been the likes of Defi, but I'm not spending crazy money like that on gauges lol

I had the Nomad boost gauge in my old Series 2 and it was excellent, the trouble is they dis-continued it long ago due to lack of demand can you believe!!! Thats what i was told when i tried to buy another one some time back.

Racetech ones are not too bad at all but the Tim ones do the job as well. Thing is with them tho is that the boost gauge for example is like £20.......... the nomad was £50.......... you can guess which is better Smiley

Ah, I wasn't aware they'd discontinued it, thanks Steve!

I think I'm quite settled on the Racetech ones now. I'm sure they're not the best out there, but the price is fairly reasonable, and a friend of mine had a set he was quite happy with in the past.

They also don't look too far off standard really, which is good I think  Cool
