Boost guage

I've done a few searches, but I can't find any usefull information.....

What are some good boost gauges to look at?

I just bought my FD. All it needs to be complete is a boost gauge.

Any suggestions on where to find resources or advice on good boost gauges for the FD?

Well, you should invest in a high quality, accurate gauage. I have heard a lot of good things about Defi guages. I am sure if you search, you will find what your looking for.

Are you looking for close to stock matching gauges? or does it not matter? Defi Gauges are one of the closet to stock form.

The seven I bought has just about everything I'd want to do to it already done to it. It was an amazing find.

the only thing it lacks for me is a boost gauge so I can keep an eye on the vacuum health.

The Autometer boost gauge will do just fine (and an A-Pillar mount). Call the RX-7 Store and they'll hook you up:

Two in one guage, but a bit over your range.

i much prefer an analog boost gauge, it's easier to see/read at speed.

I've used autometer for many years and it works just fine. very affordable etc.

Err no I'm not sure it is safe, I didn't actually dot he modifaction, the previous owner did. They are just like any other ECU company from what I heard, you send them your specs, and ECU, they program it.

That jet ECU looks okay to me, even though I haven't heard of anyone using one before. This is their web site:

EDIT
Greetings, neo..I haven't heard from you in a while! How is the FD doing?

Got mine from Pettit Racing (www.pettitracing.com)

Don't need a guage pod...you can mount it directly to the A Pillar without a prob!

Click here for a pic!
