Also available
with optional R-Sport logo.
NEW
Volvo
Factory Clock (Type 2):
Also available
with optional R-Sport logo. VDO
"30-0-15"
TURBO GAUGE:
This is the popular 52 mm VDO Cockpit
"30-0-15" Turbo Gauge that VDO used to offer
in black face only, although I don't think it is currently
available from VDO.
This White Face (just like all others) is
available with
BLACK or BLUE characters, or in
"bar" scales shown below.
VDO "30-0-20" TURBO
GAUGE
(Type 1):
This is a "30-0-20" Boost Gauge
made by VDO (PN 150-121D). Again,
VDO never
offered this one in White face,
but now you can have one.
Available with BLACK or BLUE
characters.
VDO
"30-0-20" TURBO (Type 2):
Same gauge as above, but this face has a little different
design
for the outer number indicator lines.
Available with BLACK or BLUE characters.
VDO
"30-0-20" "Boost" Tilted:
This one will directly overlay the popular
VDO "30-0-20" gauge (PN 150-121D)
providing
a horizontal zero. Available
with BLACK or
BLUE characters. You will need
to turn
your gauge when mounting.
VDO
"30-0-25" TURBO: This is
the VDO Cockpit 25 PSI
boost gauge.
Available with BLACK or BLUE
characters.

VOLVO (OEM)
240 TURBO GAUGE:
At left is a conversion face
for your factory
240 Turbo Boost Gauge.
By simply
repositioning the needle, you will
be able to achieve a balanced and
nice looking
"30-0-20" gauge. This
conversion works well.
Note: I have found
that some factory 240 boost
gauges
respond better than others to this.
Again,
this seems to be Volvo/VDO design
imperfections or inconsistencies with gauges
not
originally
intended for "calibrated" use. The problem I have noticed is a
mild inconsistency
among gauges above the 10 InHg Vacuum level and above 10 PSI. Not
all gauges are affected
though. This face might be right for you if you are
running at or near stock boost (up to maybe
12 PSI). If you require
perfect accuracy at 15 or 20 PSI, you
should probably
consider going to
a "calibrated" aftermarket boost gauge designed for
better accuracy.
Available
with BLACK or BLUE characters.
VOLVO
(OEM)
"30-0-20" TILTED 240 TURBO GAUGE:
Same stock turbo gauge as above. This conversion face
will fit your
factory 240 Turbo Boost Gauge and provide a horizontal zero to the left.
You will need to turn your gauge 90
degrees when
mounting.
Also available as a
BLACK face with
WHITE characters and
with R-Sport logo in
place of "VOLVO Turbo".
VOLVO
(OEM)
"30-0-20" TILTED R-SPORT: Same as above, except R-Sport logo
added.
This conversion face
will fit your factory 240 Turbo Boost Gauge
and provide a horizontal zero to
the left.
You will need to turn your gauge 90
degrees when
mounting.
VOLVO
OEM
Boost,
White
with BLACK or BLUE characters.
These faces will convert your factory 240 Turbo
Boost Gauge to one that is a
reproduction of the
factory face in white.
Available with BLACK or BLUE characters.
**Optional "Wider-Yellow Band" type
(not shown) is
also
available, which replicates the wider yellow band
on gauges found in later factory intercooled 240's.
Reproduction R-SPORT
BOOST - BLACK FACE.
This is a reproduction face of the
VERY rare
R-Sport Turbo gauge offered by Volvo
in their accessory catalogs in the eighties.
**Optional "Wider-Yellow Band" type (not shown) is
also
available which
replicates the wider yellow band on gauges found in later factory
intercooled 240's.
Reproduction
R-SPORT BOOST
- WHITE face.
This face is
the
same as the R-Sport face
above except as a white face.
Available with BLACK or BLUE characters.
**Optional
"Wider-Yellow Band" is
also
available, which replicates the wider
yellow band on factory gauges found in
1984 and later factory
intercooled 240's.
Slight variation I
made for a customer.
Let me know
what you want it to look like.
AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE
(C):
Here's the Volvo Ambient (outside) Temperature
gauge reading in Celsius.
The white face shown
has black
characters.
(ALSO available
in
FAHRENHEIT)
Available with
BLUE or BLACK
characters.
Also
a full BLACK face
with white text is
available to convert your BLACK Centigrade
gauge to read
in Fahrenheit or vice-versa.
VOLVO
FUEL ECONOMY/VACUUM GAUGE: Also available with the word
"Vacuum" above the sweep indicator.
Text available in BLACK or
BLUE.
A NOTE OF CAUTION regarding
disassembling this gauge:
The disassembly of this gauge
will likely present a problem. It is constructed similar to the
Volvo 240 Turbo Boost gauge, however the problem is that the
needle is
very difficult to remove. Normal procedures that work well
for all other gauges do not work for this one. An effort to
pull
the needle from this gauge may result in irreparable damage to the
internal
mechanism.
The Solution
(Illustrated instructions are included on this procedure):
The solution is to leave the
needle in place after opening the gauge housing per instructions.
Then you will to slit the white face vertically with a razor or Exacto
knife below the needle hole to the bottom edge of the face. Be
sure to use a very sharp razor so that the cut is clean and thin.
The cleaner the
cut, the more invisible it will be upon completion. Finally, slip
the
white face on under the needle. This will obviously take a steady
hand
once you have put adhesive on the face.
VOLVO
SMALL TACHOMETER
Available with BLUE or BLACK characters.
Also
available is this black face that converts it to an R-Sport face.

Here are some custom faces
I made for the 52 mm gauges
to
match an R-Sport Gauge Style

*NOTE: VDO Cockpit gauges are manufactured in the same
way as most OEM Volvo 240 gauges.
They use solid metal face plates with
front lighted (reflected) faces. Back-lighted gauge faces,
with translucent faces, such as on the new VDO
Vision series,
cannot be converted with these white faces.
