Looking at picking up a boost gauge for my Vortech install. Anyone come across one that matches the stock '87-'93 Fox gauges well?

Had a few from Autometer in the past, but they've got so damn many styles now, I can't tell one from another? The original "Sport Comp" 3301 seems to be the closest looking thus far?

I use an NOS Ford motorsport boost gauge to match the 160 cluster. Maybe get a sport comp and then paint the stock cluster needles orange .

Ties in with the matching oil pressure and water temp gauges in the center gauge cage.

The Innovate gauge is very nice, but $220

All I used was the LMR needle paint for the 85-86 cars

Those were the pictures I was looking for last night to show you . If you do that and get the sport comp it looks pretty slick and matches well in my opinion . @Gearbanger 101

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

I have a blue digital innovate wideband gauge and an auto meter cobalt boost gauge. Installed the blue led Scott Drake cluster bulbs and it all matches great.

Man, every time I see your car, it makes me want to see my 10th Anniversary Chrome Cobra's and buy a set of standard '03 Cobra's. Really clean car.

I miss stock gauges.


The phantom series matches the BBk white face gauges (they even still make those?) although my needles don't match. Really need to fix that.



And yeah, I know I have a boost guage with no blower. I was chasing some vacuum issues and wanted a guage and picked it up for dirt cheap on eBay. Normally an mechanical oil pressure guage goes there.

I feel the total opposite. I'd rather have the anniversarys over the cobras. They're a sharp wheel!

Ha....if I wasn't sporting a 4-lug set up, I'd offer to swap him straight up....but I don't imagine he's willing to get rid of his SN95 front brake set up, anytime soone.

Perhaps we need a gauge swap thread?


Folks can go in to trade gauges.
