what Boost Gauge to Buy

[wicked]

Not my car.

Phantom Autometer. they look really nice.

the gauge you posted isn't a autometer phantom gauge.

......but this is a VDO gauge that costs $25 from www.summitracing.com

the part # is vdo-150052_m

it tends to stay a hell of a lot more accurate then the autometer gauges,and and since it doesn't read VAC it also helps keep it accurate.


if you want more options let me know,I know a lot of gauges,and were to get them cheaply

so this wouldnt be as accurate? cuz i really use the VAC read on my current guage to determine how close i am to boosting when im in 5th gear ect... http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?Ntt=vdo&Ntk=KeywordSearch&DDS=1&searchinresults=false&N=0&target=egnsearch.asp

and how hard is it to install an electronic water temp guage ? i have a dual a pillar pod that i havent used since my greddy is a 60mm so i was thinking to pick up something else with the VDO boost guage .. and i think the water temp would be the most entertaining haha

 

[wicked]

your factory water temp is more then enough,your much better of useing a oil pressure.


but if you need a boost/vac gauge,then you really should spend the money for a better one.


may I suggest the autometer procomp liquid filled?
I absolulty hate autometer gauges,but I have had very good luck with the liquid filled.

may be to big to fit your pod though.


AND STAY THE **** AWAY FROM THE ULTRALITE SERIES!!!!!!!!!!

i know haha u can read that in my first post, i hate thr Ultralite series... and i just like the water temp cuz it helps u determine how hot ur car really is after some spirited driving, unlike the stock one which stays constant... so is the oil pressure gauge hard to install ?

 

[wicked]

it's really easy if you pull the intake manifold off

go to BLKZOOMZOOMS thread he just started called got head?
in the last pic,you can see why you need to pull the intek mani.
