Anyone know what boost gauge this is and where to get one from and the mounting clamp?

the gauge looks like a stewart warner which you could find on ebay google or demon tweeks you would need to get hold of a cup for it, nearly all mini shops in the directory sell them

It's an Autometer one mate, it's what Paul from 1320 uses on his car, he loves em... I ignored his advice though and went for the Alta Gauge Pod Kit with Boost and Oil Temp and now I really wish I'd learnt my lesson and listened to the master as the Alta gauge pod is utter pap if you have your steering wheel at the highest position. Oh and the parts they sent me don't fit so can't even use them

Best place for Autometer gauges are here:

gauges*::*interior*::*02-06 Cooper S*::*MINI Cooper Accessories : MINI Cooper Parts : OutMotoring

Go for the mechanical ones if you get some as they're easier to fit according to Paul and the electrical ones are nearly 3 times the price!

Re mounting pod, not sure where that came from, Paul has his mounted each side of the main speedo in the air vents and they look pimpage. If you went for those Out also do the mounting cups. See here:

hi jaw the gauge is auto meter and the mounting cup is also autometer. the size of the gauge is 2 5/8 and can be orderd from real steel 01895 440505........ the part number for the boost gauge is by4401 and the mounting pod is by3204 if you want the hole in the back, i cant remember how much the gauge was about £35 and the mounting pod was £14.04 with the vat added and they are very helpful lads.
hope this helps mate and they do look good when fitted

Cheers Dr Evil

I have found the gauge and mounting cup the on a UK site (cant remember what it was called though) and it should be with me on Monday

I use a Cravenspeed gauge pod for my AFR gauge - not cheap but well worth it sorry quality of the pic isn't good

I would advise against mechanical gauges.

Electronic ones are safer, you dont have pressurised lines in the cabin.

Also dont expect spot on readings with a £40 gauge that cannot be calibrated.

I use SPA, Stack and innovate gauges

That was my justification to Paul for chosing the blue gauges but when I told him he just tutted, shook his head and walked off

Must just be the type of person. I know plenty of people that just buy things cause they have blue lights on
