Default Substitue for my autometer boost gauge thats actually accurate....?

I've got the 2 1/16" 3303 SportComp Autometer boost gauge, and it's about 4psi off all the time, and I need something more accurate...so I was wondering what make/model that would pop right in, using the same fittings that would actually give me a proper boost reading.

Thanks in advance, and any direct links would be much appreciated.

Looking for some opinions of one that will def. be accurate tho...as I don't want to "try" any, I'd like to know with certainty that one would work...

I have a 60mm Apexi Boost gauge and Ive never had issues with it being off. I have seen a couple stewart warner and autometer gauges read off though.....Id say get a Apexi or Defi or something on that level.

Return the autometer part to where you bought it, it's defective.

Autometer is really good about working with customers. That gauge should be perfectly accurate.

I'm all for accurate gauges, but your ecu doesn't care about how accurate your boost gauge is. I'd be more concerned with how accurate your map sensor is.

I've tried 2 different autometer gauges, and all of them have been off....
