I am planning on boosting 15 psi at most. I don't want to get a gauge that reads 0-30 because it would be harder to read, plus it would look better if the needle actually moved more than 1/3 of the gauge.

I found an AutoMeter Cobalt Mechanical gauge that reads 0-20, but I have heard a lot of bad things about AutoMeter. I would like to find a gauge that looks like the AM Cobalt series because it matches my stock EK gauges. I would also rather have an electronic boost gauge.

If anyone knows where I could find a good electronic boost gauge that reads 0-20 psi, please let me know. Thanks.

 

Can go wrong with Greddy. These been use among the best Japanese racers Or you can get HKS, Blizt, Defi, they're every $$$$$$

 

I like stewart warner stuff myself.. Check there stuff out..

 

yeah I have Stewart Warner too...real nice and clean display...you should get one with vacuum too not just positive pressure so you can see where your idle vacuum is. check out summit to buy one....good prices AMAZING customer service and super fast shipping....like next day for free. gL

 

Does it have to have a needle? nordskog performance has so super accurate digitals

i have the auto meter carbon fiber series...its a mechanical does vacum/boost up to 20psi....green light so it matches my dash at night very nice....only like 50bux....so far its been very acuratte....some people don't like auto meter thou

 

i run Autometer and have not had any problems. it might be .5 psi off maybe...

i just upgraded to the 0-30psi gauge, i have my old 0-20psi one if you interested.

platinum.

 

Thanks guys. I just went ahead and bought the AutoMeter Cobalt.

 

yo cant go wrong with turbosmart eboost

 

if u have that much money then theres nothing to worry about

 

you can just go with the Ultra-Lite

autometer sucks! I used to live buy that name, until I got one of the boost gauges, it gives faulty readings, and not accurate, and the water temp gauge max out sometimes also, you have to tap it for it to go back to normal. greddy works better

might suck for you, but works for most.

 

By the way, the A/F Gauge has been tossed for a CF oil pressure gauge.

IMO using digital readout gauges for boost/vacuum gauges is a bad idea. The reason I think it's bad is the changes can be so fast that it might be hard to make out the numbers. Also the movement of the needle is like the moving arm of a clock. It is easier to tell if the arm is too fast, too slow or if it overshoots your preset boost level. I think that if you need to monitor something that changes rapidly then a needle type gauge is better. But if whatever you are monitoring changes slowly (ie water temp) then digital readouts are better.

Yeah I dont disagree, not everyone has super boost reading skillzilz like me.

 

ive been running faze gauges for a long time now and have had no problems with them and they are accurate.
