Factory MR boost gauge

Where can I find a replacement for this? I think mine took a dump.

what makes you think your gauge is busted?
I think you can't buy just that one gauge separately, try to look for a complete set used, get what you need and part the rest out

I haven't taken it out to test it yet, but it just sits at 0 bar and never moves now, but the car still feels like it is boosting just fine

mmm maybe the hose just popped off from the back of the gauge, or check the other end in the engine bay...

I inquired from a Mitsu dealer several months ago about a replacement oil temp gauge - discontinued. That might be the case with the boost gauge as well if you'd be looking to buy one new.. Used would probably be your best bet. You could probably pick up a complete used set on here for less money than what a new one would've cost you, & you'll have the other gauges as spares!

If your car came with the gauges from the factory ( it should have) then the "t" for the boost gauge is on the left side of the intake mani, I believe it gets the pressure from the fuel solenoid.
Do a boost leak test while you are at it, you will know if the hose popped right away.

If this isn't allowed, mods feel free to delete this post, but I have my original MR 3-gauge assortment that I'd be willing to sell for probably significantly less than Mitsu would charge for the single gauge. It's just sitting in my closet, feel free to PM me if you'd like it.

As mentioned previously, try to see if the hose came off, usually that is 90% of the reason why boost gauges stop functioning. If it is still intact, there are a ton of people selling the oem gauges for cheap on the forums! I don't know why people dislike them, I think they look great with the interior, just wish the boost gauge went up to a higher psi.

The IX MR gauges suited me just fine when I had my IX. Never went crazy with the car either.
