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.
TIA, -C

 

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,

cool. At least someone replyed
Yeah I'm going with the greddy, So it's down to electric or manual.

 

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

I personally run Greddy 52mm electrical guages in my car! I have had absolutely not 1 problem with them!

 

The first greddy boost gauge i had worked for about a day and then qut. I took it back to the dealer and they swaped it on the spot and i have not had any problems with any other Greddy gauges.

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.

 

Does greddy make a peak hold in 52mm?? I looked and did not see one?? The 60mm gauges are TOOO BIG IMO

yea, i got the greddy 52mm electrical gauges too. they should be going in sometime this week. i'm finishing up the turbo install as we speak.....

 

HEY! theres nothing wrong with autometer boost guages! right? hahah dont jinx my boost gauge man... i dont wanna find out im really boosting 7lbs when its only supposed to be 5lbs. actually i wondered why my boost guage said it was still at 6 when i kept turnin it up to 7lbs manually. i thought it was just the wastegate. maybe its the boost guage? sucks...

time to get me a greddy electrical one. but electronic gauges can also give out.

 

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

Dustin

 

Dear god yes! If you had a vacuum leak in the cabin your car might implode!

 

You bastard!!

 

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.
