So Ive been shopping around for boost gauges and for a while I was considering get a cheap ebay china gauge, then i read up on how inaccurate and unreliable they are. so now im looking at the Autometer Mechanical boost/vac gauges. they run roughly 60-80 bucks and i was wondering if these are any good? I cant find reviews on them anywhere. Ive seen some positive talk about autometer's digital gauges but nuffin about the mechanical ones. anyone running them? are they just glorified china gauges or can i expect quality from them? and is there any other name brand gauges in this price range? please and thank you!

here is another one i found as i was typing this post: 2-5/8" BOOST-VAC, 30 IN. HG/20 PSI, MECH

 

I have a cheap *** mechanical harbor freight boost gauge that cost me $15 lol. It reads within 1/2psi of what my hondata 4bar map sensor reads when I log it. To me a boost gauge isn't super important so the cheap mechanical gauge works fine for me, but I am a cheap *** lol.

 

I've always used Glowshift, never had a problem with them

 

most aftermarket gauges like pro charger, jackson supercharger boost gauges are still auto meter gauges, i had my pro charger mech boost gauge and it works great even after many years. Im also running glow shift digital gauge for rpm tach and its very accurate as well.

 

ive seen the hf boost gauges they are bad. they had 6 in stock and they all were off. in the box they were pointing + or - 2 psi. only 1 was dead zero psi. Is glow shift a cheap china brand that are hit or miss or are they semi good quality?

 

$60. can't be beat for a Garrett boost gauge. Can be either PSI or (what real men read... BAR.
