Dial a death boost knob.
 

Anyone know where to find one, or the bits to make one?
I am running a Greddy EBC right now and it is working perfectly well.
But it is not in period keeping with the car - ie it is a piece of electronic wizardry that belongs to a later era.
Thanks
Alan

I always like Turbosmart products, check their dial type manual boost controller, you can replace the dial knob with a CNC cut one that resembles the original RUF style :

Excellent, thank you.
How would I go about replacing the knob with an Ruf one?

I Pulled this from the console this winter just to change things up. It was mainly a conversation piece at car shows for me. Might sell it.

Hi i have an electronic one that looks like an original i connected the hoses to it and run the wires in the hoses.. it operate through the Autronics ECU.. I installed a Hargett G50 shifter and moved the park brake forward to the shifter location and fabricated a mount for the dial... easy to reach and adjust whilst driving..

An exact replica from Retrosport in Berkeley, CA is available, it shows sold, but pretty sure they made a run of them a while back and have more. Was laser scanned, redone in CAD and then CNC'd off an exact factory one and made to German DIN machining and plating standards:

Some background on its design as well:

Don't want to hijack this thread, but would love to hear more about this.

Excellent info guys.
