Spearco boost gauge

[Back2Basics]

I just bought a Spearco boost gauge off of eBay for like $35 shipped and am now possibly regreting it. I didnt find to much information on them, but I saw a couple that said they were innacurate at full boost w/ the needle fluttering and then I saw ads of course that said they were of very high quality with great accuracy. Anybody have some experience with them or know about them? Thanks!

Spearco makes gauges?

Lol I know! I just thought what the hell, they make fine intercoolers so why not brand new for $35?

It's a mechanical guage, I looked it up... I wouldn't worry too much on how accurate they are.

If it's resting on 0, then you should be fine.
Get another gauge though if you plan on tunning. Every measurement needs to be to the point.

I will, unfortunately I dont plan on going above 20 psi either so I should be good for now.

i dunno if i was going for 20psi+, or 15psi+ id at LEAST get an autometer.. i had a megan knock off and it was the worst 35us i have ever spent lol..

Ehh, depends on how well you trust your EBC as well.
My EVC IV reads what pressure I'm running, and I just use the boost gauge as a visual reference.

Well I have a home-made home depot mbc. That'll be okay right? Like I said, as of now I dont plan on running even more than 15 psi right now and if I do, I'll upgrade the gauge.
