Lemme see if I can borrow a camera tonight and get you a shot.

It's a cool gauge, works fine. It reads in bar so I only hook it up every now and again to verify my boost level. But I'm not planning on permanently installing it until I change to a turbo and can boost over a bar. I'm at .68...right now.

It's not a very common brand for the honda community. I mostly only see toyota subaru and nissan people with them.

The only real complaint I have is the size of the gauge, 60mm. If you like 60mm that's great. But it seems kinda big to me. When I tried to find a pillar pod for it, I purchased the greddy universal pod. It fit well, but the pod seemed enormous too. So I then opted to buy the autometer pod. The bigger 2 5/8 one. The 2 5/8 pod was a little bigger than the gauge was, so I made a trip to home depot and purchased a bath tub drain gasket. Used that to fill the gap and hold the gauge securely. Turned out well, looks good.

On this pic, I just placed the boost gauge on the dash of my freinds WRX. It looks huge next to his 52mm Omori gauge but it's just an optical illusion. lol

The gauge seems brighter in pictures than it does in person. It doesn't have any adjustment ***** for a dimmer or anything but I guess you could always hook it up to your cars dimmer switch.

Also, behind the blitz logo is a black light bulb. So it is brightest near the bottom than the top.

Hope this helps.....

If you need more pics and you wanna wait till the weekend when I work on my teg, I can hook it up to the pillar and give you an idea of what it would look like in a honda/acura.
