52mm 12V Turbo Boost Gauge | LED Smoke Lens Car Gauge

Monitor your engine's performance with this 52mm 12V turbo boost gauge. It features a clear LED smoke lens display that shows boost pressure from -1 to 2 BAR, making it easy to read at a glance. This gauge is designed for 12V gasoline vehicles and helps you keep track of your turbo system's output for better engine management.

This mechanical boost indicator is built with an ABS plastic housing for durability. The gauge uses a stepper motor, which means the pointer returns to zero only after the gauge is powered on. This is a normal function of the design, not a defect. The gauge mounts on the front of your dashboard or A-pillar for easy visibility.

Whether you are tuning your engine or just want to keep an eye on boost levels, this gauge provides reliable readings. The LED backlighting ensures you can see the numbers clearly, even in low-light conditions. It is a straightforward upgrade for any 12V car that needs a boost monitoring solution.
