Has anyone ever ran an industrial guage for boost pressure because you can pick up a 1.5% accurate gauge that is liquid filled for about the same cost of a auto meter gauge. You even have a better selection of pressure ranges to choose from. Well, if you have ran them whats is your experience with industrial gauges because I think thats what im going to do for my b16a turbo im dropping in over the weekend. Lighting might be an issue though

or go to mcmaster.com and type in compound gauges to see what im talking about.

I have seen alot of autometers that have been crap.

 

better then princess auto :P

you going to run 2 gauges? one for vac one for boost?

 

I don't like the liquid filled gauges they react way slow (like a boost spike...Can't catch it as fast)

 

No, they have compound gauges. Im probably going to run full vac -15psi. That is actually a really common gauge. They have plenty of non liquid filled ones too.

 

post pics and a vid when your done

 

I like the $15 Tractor Supply Co. 0-30 psi boost gauges for diesel tractors.

 

haha boost is pressure, anything that measures pressure will work. Unless your trying to meausre decimals of psi, even which your still using an analog guage which isnt good for that. i found this old gauge laying around work so i hooked it up and tested it out. it weighs about 5lbs and is about 7in big.

You using one of these?

 

Doesnt matter. Most gauges wont be accurate unless its a calibrated map based gauge.

My last blitz gauge read 1.0BAR while EcTune with a motorola 2.5bar map read 17psi.

The cheap one does work btw. Better than autoshitmeter.
