A boost gauge is a boost gauge dude. It's not dependant on how the boost is made. The signal is taken from exactly the same place in exactly the same way.

Well, you get what you pay for.

I'm sure if he gets it we will see another post in F/I about how his gauge reads 3 psi off. Just don't say I didn't warn you.

how is autometer garbage? they make excellent gauges & their customer service is amazing. i e-mailed them becasue 2 of my gauges weren't working and got a response in 15 min.. sent the gauges to them & they sent me 2 brand new ones within a week. they were the electric cobalts too.. thats like $2-300! can't beat that

My opinion, is that autometer's other gauges tend to be fine (oil pressure, egt, etc). But their boost gauges tend to be pretty crappy, from what Ive seen

My Greddy gauges kick ***.

Just search for Autometer and you will see all the people that have problems with them. Whats the point in spending money on engine data aquisition if it isn't going to be accurate?

i bought a bad autometer boost gauge as well that read like 5psi off. They suck. I bought an even cheaper VDO boost gauge and i love it. It seems to have better quality and does what its suppost to

i think that no matter what model of autometer series u buy, the boost gauges are made the same, and im glad i didnt waste money on any for my setup...
