its connected to a Pressure sensor attached to the side of the battery box.. and takes the boost pressure from the inlet manifold.. I love that bit!

Yup ! S1 S1 S1...
If you look at the Engine Bay picture, over on the right, just above the fuel filter is a device, with a hose and plug on it.. Thats the boost sensor.. the guage is electronic in the instruments...

Re: Vince's XM - VSX back up for sale again.
to be fair they are rather pointless, i had the same in my old saab and it moved but with no markings all you knew was that you were making white, green, orange or red boost, which isnt very informative.

Red boost is by far the best Dean

Re: Vince's XM - VSX back up for sale again.
Oh no i agree completely Paul, they are a nice touch, another feather in the MK1 cap so to speak.
Jim, white boost was when you were not moving, green was when you were shifting aloing at a good rate, orange was when you could physicaly see the fuel guage dropping (you think im joking) and red was when it was broken

I never did check the 'economy' of it. I don't think I could have stood the shock. Didn't keep it long as it was bankrupting us. Swapped it for a Vauxhall Chavalier

I was not well in those days

What did you do to deserve those cars Jim!
At least it was not a diesel Serena, which I still think holds the record for the slowest motorised box.
