there are a few people on this forum that have already changed theirs out, maybe they can cut you a deal.

Just call Summit Racing and just buy an non metric boost gauge from Autometer in the same size.

The dealer will wack you for the same thing here is the states.

Summit ships tp Canada or if you have a boarder store near by to them. If you can cross over to piuck it up the shipping is free and only a handling charge is applied.

I was in the same boat as you...

You have a few choices:
1) order the imperial gauge from your local GM dealer
2) get an Aeroforce Interceptor gauge
3) get a standard autometer boost gauge

For #3, note that the stock gauge is electric... a small harness plugs into the gauge. Using a mechanical boost gauge from Autometer, VDO etc. will not exactly be plug-and-play.

Maybe you can find someone on the forum (in the US) who has done #2 above, and has their stock imperial boost gauge sitting around collecting dust

I did the Aeroforce gauge setup I recommend it as well. If your going to go thru the trouble change it out for one of these instead.

Thanks all, well I don't even have the car yet so I will see how I feel about bastarding a new car when it show up. In the mean time if anyone has an imperial Gauge and is willing to let it go let me know.

I ordered a factory one through my local Gm store for about $125.

Why does it matter??
It's the same thing.
If you are going fast/racing...you'll never waste time looking at it.
