52mm or 60mm boost gauge?

[needforspeed6]

I was thinking about getting a boost gauge and for those who already have one, what size would your recommend? If you have a 52mm do you wish you went bigger, or if you have a 60 mm do you wish you went smaller? I am probably going to install it in blockhead8's gauge pod.

Also, it seems that most are running the Prosport premium electric boost gauge. If you are, are you happy with it? Would you recommend getting a different gauge? Let me know. Thanks!

I have 52mm VEI digital, wish I would have went bigger and put it in the center vent instead.

60mm Prosport Premium Peak/Warn in Ben's ventpod, here. I don't think I'd want anything else, anywhere else.

Thanks, Jay. I think I may go with this same setup. Do you have any pics?

Go 60mm if you're going to put it in a vent pod. Easier on your eyes. 8mm is roughly a 1/4" difference in size FYI.

Besides the 60mm prosport premium electric boost gauge, what are some other 60mm electric boost gauge options?

Ever seen a cheap electric gauge? They make a ton of noise. I'd look at a Stri, Blitz, or even an Autometer gauge. I don't think Defi makes a 60mm gauge without getting the Defi-link, and that's not really worth it.

I'm pretty happy with mine size-wise in Ben's pod. I haven't had any problems with my Prosport yet, but I think if I were going to order again I'd look at maybe an STRI or a Defi really hard before settling on this one. I can only say that based on all the poor reviews I've seen, but I hope mine holds up.

(By the way, it's a Prosport 52mm Performance Series)

I'm diggin my 52mm. I think the 60mm would look a bit big, but that's just me.
