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.

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.

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.
