Boost gauge ?
 
What is more accurate mechanical or a electronic boost gauge?

never had any experience with elec, but a quality mechanical is hard to beat, imo. there is nothing to go wrong really. plus they are cheaper....

That's what my friend told me.The electronic ones are for looks.
Which that's what i'm not looking for.

some of the mech gauges I have used are not very accurate compared to the map log.. and some of the electrical ones go hay wire and show a peak you never really hit..



just my experience.

for the price of an elec, you could have like 6 mechanicals assuming the first 5 do you wrong. choice is simple

i ran a iequus vacuum/pressure test gauge on my ranger until i upped the boost past what the gauge read. it was big, and really HMT style.
