Re: boost gauge preference

Find the part number on the autometer or a vendor site, then buy it off ebay for 40-50 bucks. All of them light up.

Re: boost gauge preference

I bought the Autometer sportcomp 0-35 psi guage over 4 years ago. I still havent maxed it out. Some of my friends on the other hand have bought a few gauges... I can see it easily at night. I have seen some evidence that the non-vac boost guages are either more accurate, or retain their accuracy longer, fyi.

Re: boost gauge preference

SPW boost gauge from ebay. $50 shipped. 7 colors. violet when you feel like your in touch with your feminine side more than usual. Red when your about to rape a civic. white when you want to look professional. baby blu when your in riCe mode...the list goes on.

Re: boost gauge preference

probably 60mm unless you count the 5 inch tachs. regula r is 52mm, which is what gauge pods come in so you'll have to bore it out.

Re: boost gauge preference

OR for rednecks, 52mm is 2 and 1/16th, and 60mm is roughly comparable to 2 and 5/8ths (60mm is a little smaller).

Re: boost gauge preference

its cool to see a larger sized needle sweep a greater area on a larger gauge face...especially on measuring boost. imo. other snail-paced stuff like volt, air/fuel, oil pressure etc can be kept small.

Re: boost gauge preference

There are all kinds of poeple on all kinds of sites. Doesnt matter where you find the ad, the question is do you trust the guy you are ordering from. The best you can do is talk to the guy and see if you trust him. I try to only deal with people that I know have been on the forums for a long time and arent assclowns.

I went with greddy for the boost gauge, although I prob will go with someone else for the rest of my guages. Its not that greddy is not good, but its so damn pricey!
