Default Cheapest non-autometer boost gauge?

I need one that is damn accurate instead of this autometer pos. And preferrably something that reads in PSI and mm/hg instead of damn bar, if I'm looking at gauges on the fly, I don't want to be converting from bar before I can use it.

Yea, Defi does. I would go with a high-quality brand. What is wrong with reading in BAR?

VDO are pretty inexpensive, maybe take a look at them. I know they came as factory gauges in Porsches and VW's, so Im sure they are pretty reliable.

I haven't done enough boost calculations in bar that i'm fluent yet, when i look at gauges on the fly, i dont want to calculate 14.7*psi before I know where i'm at.

with a defi mechanical boost gauge don't u have to buy the lil black link box?? or can u use the guage by it self??

Also if u want a pretty cheap digital boost guage you could do what i'm goin to do and buy the blitz dtt dc which has a built in boost gauge.
