I installed a bunch of gauges in a centre console I built to monitor the engine while I turn up the fuelling. Three of them came from a golf caddy, late 80's or early 90's. They are VDO gauges that work really well. The EGT from Westach is also excellent.
My issue is with the lighting of the VDO boost gauge I bought. When lit up at night I can only see a crescent of light around the gauge face because of the side viewing angle. It's so glaring that I can't read the face unless I view it from practically straight on..
Has anyone used a boost gauge that can still be viewed from the side?

Re: Good Boost gauge
So to answer my own question, the boost gauge I need is the vdo vision series, p/n 150-104. This is a backlit gauge whereas the other one I had, shown in the pic is side light. I'm gonna order the right one now.
