Re:Ghey question about boost gauges
whats the difference in a manual boost guage and oil pressure gauge or a fuel pressure gauge?

Re:Ghey question about boost gauges
What do you mean? one is to read boost, one for oil press., and one for fuel. :) If its a mechanical type guage, basicaly you need to run pressure, or fuel or whatever to the guage so it can read the pressure.

Re:Ghey question about boost gauges
The reason is I can get a fuel pressure guage locally otherwise I have to order or buy off ebay. :-) I might try and hook it up as a boost gauge. I remeber someone say that they have done it.

Re:Ghey question about boost gauges
Mechanical guage is well.. Mechanical it measures the actual thing at the guage in this case your fuel..
Electrical guages utilize sending units.. they test locally and relay an electronic signal. -CF |

Re:Ghey question about boost gauges
a few days ago I bought a real boost gauge. I even got one that matched in size color and brand. I figure I should make it look good size I've already saved a pile of money.
