boost gauge: MECHANICAL or electrical???

[ms6tb]

My gauges don't sweep should they?

I evaluated Defi too until well.. I saw how pricey they are

Check out www.prosportgauges.com, specifically the red/amber gauges. When you first plug them in, they do a gauge sweep like the Mazdaspeed6 (and maybe 3.. I dunno) gauges do. Since I'm guessing the MS3 has the same red/blue/white gauges as the normal Mazda3, the prosport amber gauges would work VERY well because you can wire them to light up white. It's LED lit, very very bright and awesome looking. I have a video of mine in the white mode, but I haven't uploaded it yet. Here's my video of them red:

Edit: oh and only the electrical does the sweep when it turns on. The price was excellent and it came with the sender, vaccuum line, wiring, everything you'll need to install it.

You said the Speed6 does a gauge sweep when you start it, I have a Speed6 but when I start my car it doesn't do a gauge sweep, should it? It just starts normal & idles about 1000 rpms.

just installed my prosport electronic boost gauge. Matches the stock MS6 gauges almost perfectly. I need to check my wiring and hoses though. its reading 26 vacum and when it starts reading boost it ony goes up to 10 psi and is really jumpy. So I need to check my connections. But so far I love the way it looks.

Where did u get that pod holder for the center.
