im going to order a boost gauge and i would like to know wich one is better autometer or VDO? and thoes both comes with all the parts you need? thanks

 

Autometer has a bad reputation around here. The majority of the people here hate them. I dont have any personal experience with them so I cant say theyre good or not. VDO makes good gauges. These come stock in Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and other cars. I would lean towards VDO since I've heard pretty good things about them compared to Autometer. Hopefully someone with experience using both gauges will give you a better reply. Peace!

 

but do they come with all the harness that you need like tubing and fittings?

 

i have a vdo boost gauge and it works great, however the lighting isnt all that great, but the gauge works great. (doesnt show vacuum either)

 

Depends where you buy it. Either way, vac line is like 0.30$/foot at any auto parts place. Same with wiring for the lights.

 

the autometer comes with some crap plastic tubing. I changed mine for vac line. you'll also need a "T" to connect the line to the engine.

if you have some money to spare buy a greddy boost gauge. I wish I did... my autometer will be throw out one day for a greddy.

 

I just did that.. trashed mine for a Blitz I-D though

my autometer seems inconsistant and inaccurate.. like 12psi but no boost cut .. (i had no FCD) I moved my vacuum line source around and never was accurate.. gave up.

 

Autometer f*&(ing sucks!!!
I supposedly got the best model: Pro-comp. Mine is liquid filled, but only 3/4 of the way up... looks like **** like that. Very poor impression.
ALso- depending on the temp, the resting position of the needle can vary from -5hg to +4 psi!!! WTF is that?? If you leave the light on in it it heats up enough to really through it off. What a piece of crap. I would never recommend buying one to anybody.
Definatly go VDO, or anything else but AM.
