Guys, I need a cheap, but good boost gauge - this is the cheapest I've found so far:

Are the VDO gauges any good?
Are there any other cheap sources? Right now I'm using a hand-held vacuum gauge that came in a cheap tune-up kit, not even sure if it's accurate.

 

jc whitney has a boost gauge for $17 dollars. although it releases excess air and it sounds kinda loud inside the car when it does that, but it is accurate. i thought it was broken cause it did that and i bought an autometer from a local shop for $54.00. it releases excess air too but not as loud as the one from jc whitney. they where both acurate cause they match up to the boost my apexi vafc displays. i threw the jc whitney gauge away thinking it wasn't acurate before i installed the autometer
and saw they both gave the same readings. then i checked the apexi vafc pressure reading and it matched the readings from both gauges. kinda cool.

 

With shipping on that one you are looking at 37.11 (and personally that gauge looks like ***.

i was able to get all my gauges on ebay, adn the total came out to around $50. i got vdo boost, oil pressure, and oil temperature gauges. both oil gauges came out of an audi.

as for their quality, vdo is the oem supplier for vw, audi, and porsche. probably more car companies too. thats good enough for me

 

www.summitracing.com has like 12 dollar boost gauges that show 0-15psi which is perfect for our use (they are vdo). you get a lot of resolution between each psi so you can tell exactly what boost you're getting.

 

oops they are $30

 

Pep Boys has sunpro white face boost gauge for $15.I have bought quite a few for turbo kits and they work well.

 

Is it this one?
