YOUR favorite boost gauges
wassup guys..just curious what brand boost gauge u guys all use..or just what brand gauges in general? i am in the market for one and i do NOT want to deal with an inaccurate boost gauge again..i used to have a Autometer sportscomp boost gauge and it was ALWAYS off by 1-2 psi... i had a SC with a 4psi pulley and it ALWAYS read somewhere between 5-7psi. i checked the vacuum lines, etc and everything was fine..so i guess all the rumors about Autometer being inaccurate came true in my situation.
so let me know wat u guys think..just want to see if any Autometer gauge is worth trusting..or if i have to spend the extra $$$ for a Greddy or APEXi one..
EDIT: im only referring to mechanical boost gauges btw

actually, come to think of it, i'm sure Defi released a cheaper set of meters in the US which were mechanical..

GReddy doesn't make 52mm mechanical gauges.

Nathan,
You have the same camera as me.
My Autometer gauge was always a little off, too.
I think next time I'll try Greddy.

Re: YOUR favorite boost gauges (Hammett)
My favorite meters are the ones I can actually afford to buy. Inaccurate or not... its better than looking at pictures of pretty greddy gauges on my laptop.

Re: YOUR favorite boost gauges (Tru Dynamix)
There is a post on here, maybe on pages 2,3 that give an EGT and Boost for 200 I think, and they are GReddy Gauges. 52mm etc. I'll try and get the link ...

Re: YOUR favorite boost gauges (Tru Dynamix)
why are you looking only for mechanicals? cheapest and best non-autometer and non-vdo gauges are greddy's in my opinion. mine worked great.
if you want a good mechanical one that reads in psi, then look into omori gauges.
