boost gauge Q

[YourHondaSux]

Alright I got my MBC and I'm eager to turn up the boost. However, I have yet to buy a new boost gauge. I have narrowed it down to Autometer because that seems to be the most popular and most affordable. However Autometer has about 100000 different styles (Cobalt, Z series, Performance, etc) So, my question for the supra gods is: Which style do you guys reccomed? I still have my stock turbo so I don't need one that reads up to 100psi or anything. And I'm not looking to spend more that ~$70 on it. What do you guys think?

honestly bro, get some good quality gauges like greddy, HKS, Defi. I know they're expensive but in the end you pay less because you won't be constantly changing gauges. For example, i've been through 3 autometer boost gauges, a water temp gauge, Air/fuel gauge, EGT gauge (not because they don't work) but because of styling, function and options. So i just bought some DEFI link gauges with peak and hold and memory that match EXACTLY our interior lights. One LED lights up the letters and one red LED lights up the needle. The amount i spent on my autometers i could've just spent it ONCE on the DEFI's the first time.

I will 3rd that point. I bought GReddy guages and they are fantastic. They are not all that expensive either in comparison to some others.

I have an autometer and it works fine. My only complaint is that it has developed a haze on the inside of the lens. And it doesn't come apart, so you can't even clean it off. As for the style, that is up to your personal preferance.

Autometer is the best "cheap gauges." If you want to spend less than $75 per gauge, autometer is they way to go. Don't buy any of the cheap ebay gauges, they are all crap. You can tell it's crap just by touching it. Only thing with autometer gauges is that they are ugly. If you want the best gauges, get HKS, Greddy, Blitz, etc..... 1000 times better quality. The only autometer gauges I would buy is the new versions, can't remember the names but it's just as good as all the other big name brands and cost just as much too..... :icon_bigg

Ok, I see that auto meter was a bad choice. Good thing i asked.

MK3Racer89: What kind of $ can you get me a good Greddy boost gauge for? I'm in Raleigh, NC, btw.

 

[MK3Racer89]

[YourHondaSux]

definitely black. 60mm. yes, i do need a holder. Thanks man!

 

[derK]

autometer isn't bad, but like the saying goes "do it right the first time".

 

[MK3Racer89]

sorry it too me so long, i could not find this place for a bit but anyway, i can get them for about 120 or so and that is greddy 52mm. but let me know ok

I have had no problems with Autometer,the only way to fuck'em up is to hook them up wrong.

 

[albertmdh]

how much do you want for one of your old autometer boost gauges? hehe any is better than none, I'd say.

 

[tubbie]

You can get the Greddy's from ebay for less than $100 brand new.

 

[MK3Racer89]

yeah ebay is pretty good to get deals so you can try them , if you cant find any on ebay hit me up.
