Does anyone know if the extra guages that go on either side of the tack would fit on either side of the tack/speeo combo that comes with the NAV equiped Mini? I would love to get these.

Also, how deep are the guages? They look really deep in the pics i've seen.

Bringing this post back to life!

I want to know as well, pics would be best of course. Boost Gauge is most important.

 

i put them on my car; three gauges and I have nav.

Why would you need a boost gauge!?!!?

A supercharger is belt driven and provides relatively consistant boost - there is no need for a gauge to tell you that. Thats why supercharged cars dont have &quot;turbo lag&quot;, where the car is still gradually building boost as the rpms increase (becuase the turbine in the turbo is spun by exhaust gas). For a turbo car, a boost gauge is informative - becuase boost fluctuates, builds, is blown off.

Just my $.02

Here we go. I was TOLD by our brethren that: I need this gauge because it is cool. That I was getting into the &quot;spirit&quot; of motoring by exchanging a voltmeter for a boost gauge. I am still having a hard time buying into it. Yes it is neat and fun to have a gauge that fluctuates wildly While you drive (and passengers will be awed) But, it really serves very little purpose in my daily driver. Maybe a volt meter is not all that necessary in a new car either. I just can't justify the boost gauge. Maybe It would tell me when my air filter was getting dirty.

 

BMP already makes a kit to fit the nav equiped minis with their boost/oil pressure gauges just like the non-nav minis. It isn't on their website, but all you have to do is call and ask. :smile:

 

Just got mine installed from BMP.

That's interesting... because BMP just told me that they're still working out the details for the nav gauge kit, that it's still 3-4 weeks out, and that there will be several variants available (including coolant temp and oil pressure). What exactly did they send you?
