Gauge any good?

I was thinking about this boost gauge, i could get it mechanical since the full sweep is so expensive. Do you think that this will give me a pretty decent reading? I was also planning to get a pod for 3 gauges and i wanted the other two to be electric so i wouldnt have to run 2 more vaccum lines. It's under boost.

Would it hurt to run the other 2 gauges electric, but not full sweep, it would only cost about the same as mechanical boost.

Will the electric gauges that are NOT full sweep perform just as good as the mechanical ones?

those gauges woul dbe fine. and its ok to run mech/elec gauges together.

but if i were you, id save up and get the higher end gauge. i have the autometer cf boost, but electrical. it's pretty responsive and you dont have to run a long *** vac line to the cabin. plus it has warning/peak feature.

but if thats really out of your budget, the mech gauge will do.

Is it worth the extra money to get the electric full sweep? Is an electric ,but not full sweep decent?

imho, it is. you have a warning and peak feature, with a warning LED in case you overboost.

i dont think autometer makes a boost gauge that isnt full sweep.
