Best inexpensive boost gauge
What is the recommendation for a quality inexpensive boost gauge? It doesn't need to go over 15 psi.

Re: Best inexpensive boost gauge
I haven't had any issues with my prosport oil temp gauge. When I replaced the sending unit (sensor), the oil tem did read slightly differently than the old one. Same general temp though. The clock I installed is okay too. I need to pull my pillar pod and tighten everything up better or ditch it all together.

I have Prosport gauges as well. Never had issues.

Re: Best inexpensive boost gauge
Thanks for the info. I'm not too worried about it being perfectly accurate honestly. I'm not going to be pushing the boost past 12, stock is 7. I want the gauge more so I know if I have leak in the system.

Re: Best inexpensive boost gauge
I've always preferred mechanical boost gauges, they react much quicker than most electric gauges (especially cheaper units), are cheaper, and dead nuts reliable and accurate.
I like AutoMeter but really any mechanical boost gauge is pretty darn good

Re: Best inexpensive boost gauge
I like the simplicity of that gauge. I am eventually moving my gauges somewhere else (tired of being asked if it is turboed) and want small simple gauges. The option I really want isn't likely to happen any time soon (defi system).
