Good value boost gauge....
I've been leaning towards the Greddy 52mm electric or Apexi 60mm mechanical. Anyone have any suggestions, experiences? I could just go cheap and get an autometer. I've never had problems with autometer products. I just want accuracy.

Don't get the autometer Calvin. They are garbage, from my experience the spring inside the gauge seems to wear and will be inacurate. Go for the Greddy, Apexi, Blitz, etc. gauges if you want to measure boost.
Hope that helps,

Def get the greddy electric one... I have it and it is great. You do not want to be running vacuum hoses into your cabin

If you can, try to get the Greddy peak/hold/warning Boost guage...It lets you keep your eyes on the road instead of looking at how much your boosting.

The peak hold boost is cool, but my AVC-R has a peak hold function so I just use that

If you want to keep your eyes on the road while seeing boost, get the Defi Heads Up Display boost gauge and turbo timer. It's a nice unit with the turbo timer built in. The only problem is it displays in kg/cm^2.
