Analogue boost gauges with low max pressure

[Richyvrlimited]

As per the title, do these exist?

I'm looking for an analogue boost gauge for my MK1 mx5 preferably one that displays vacuum as well as boost.

My car won't ever see much north of 9psi so the vast majority of boost gauges available that display up to 30 just seem a bit overkill

If I could find one in the classic stack or VDO style that peaked at 14psi/1bar that's be perfect

Bonus if it's less than £100!

It's gotta be pretty bad quality at that price, even Chinese sellers are asking double !! lol

The Innovate MTX-A is a nice bit of kit, boost has an expanded scale so you can see what's happening more easily. No bonus points for me though, they are pricey.

Electronic though, not simple mechanical as requested. But visually yes a nice gauge.

Search RAF boost gauge on eBay. I used one from a Hawker Typhoon but Spitfire and Lancaster bomber ones have lower maximum boost values. They have a 1/8 BSP male input if I remember rightly. If you wait you can usually get one for under £100.

Demon twerks do a 1 bar boost gauge which ought to do the trick as it will mean your 9psi ought to be right in the Orange/mid range of the gauge.

Merlin Motorsport at Castle Combe also stock a nice range of Stack gauges

Ohh nice spot, I like the look of the TIM Turbo gauges, rather retro looking. All the versions on Ebay I'd seen of these went up to 3 bar

To be fair it looks mechanical which is what I'm actually after rather than a digital readout. I wasn't very clear in the OP, apologies.

I can deal with an electronic input, just would prefer the analogue look of a gauge rather than a digital one.

Just a quickie.

After looking at this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156143977709 on ebay the other day an offer popped into my ebay giving $20 off, so basically covering the postage near enough.
