boost gauges...
Hey guys
I know this item most of you with turboes have seems to be such a simple little device, but is there anything I should be looking out for? Other than the obvious i.e. make sure the maximum boost on the gauge is more than I plan to run...is there anything else I should look out for or do I just buy the one with the most features I can afford? Also, go just boost or a boost/vacuum gauge? Cheers

Re: boost gauges...
just go with a boost gauge from a trusted brand. GReddy, Apex'i, and HKS all make good gauges. Just pick the one that you like the best and the one that has the features you want like peak/hold or not.

Re: boost gauges...
I'd say boost and vacuum. It will help you figure out when/if you have vacuum/boost leaks.
Also stick with trusted brands And lastly, run it off a decent vacuum line...not those ghetto thin plastic Autometer lines.

Re: boost gauges...
I like the autometer styling and price, apparently they're relaible enough. I plan on getting a sport comp one once I get all my other junk done (downpipe, gut cats, get test pipe, plugs and wires). Def get boost vac, dunno bout the vaccume line, get the most rigid one I guess.

Re: boost gauges...
Thanks for the advice guys.
I was originally going to get an autometer one, but the workshop says that they're not that accurate and are usually out by a margin. But the prices are so good. And drftk1d, when you find out what your friend has on his rex, tell me. Cheers
