it would probably work fine, and they even give you a better kit that autometer.

it probably works, but shitty boost guages will only work well for a month or so then they'll start sticking

How much you want for the gauge, how old is it, and what size is it? If these are the greatest, what is a good kind. I would like to get matching gauges for my oil pressure and boost, and I would like white face gauages. thanx

When it comes to ebay, anything could be a rip off. You never know. I dont see how the could ---- a boost guage though.....

I personally try to go for the gauge with the widest sweep on the needle, and this thing is really short. But it seems like one gauge is really as good as the next (when it comes to boost gauges), unless you spend alot of money on it. When I get a Vac/boost gauge, I like to hook it up to a hand pump to make sure how accurate it is. If it's off, at least I know how much it's off by.

i bought a shitty *** pep-boys $15 boost gauge and used it for 3 months @ 13psi without a single problem, the install kit they include is a bag-o-*** though
