What kind of boost gauge do you use? What do you like or dislike about it? Where do you have it mounted?

 

iss pro vac/boost. like that it matches stock, cheap. Mounted center din panel.

 

I run an AEM truboost boost controller (it looks like a boost gauge that mounds in a pod). I like the utility and convenience of it. It uses LEDs as a needle and has a digital read out. What I don't like about it is that it is ugly as sin and is mounted on the lower part of my A-pillar which still slightly obstructs my vision. I would prefer to have it above my gauge cluster in a mickey mouse type holder with only one pod (left).

I also have a boost gauge in my Spirit R cluster. It looks great but it is not really close to my FOV and its vacuum range reading is not low enough.

 

I have the cheapo autometer, which works fine. but sometimes I don't think it's the most accurate.

what I love about it is the fact that it matches my gauge cluster. I put the red light bulb condom on it and it looks like the same light.

I mounted it to my A pillar, but it's kinda hanging by a thread cause I need to reattach it. I stuck it on there with double sided tape, for the time being, I can't decide how I want to mount it for good.

 

I use Defi stepping motor gauges , I have been through Autometer , greddy , hks , blitz .... but the Defi's are the best I have ever used. Look good as well

 

Wow dude, it looks like you have some kind of circle fetish. Do you find having that many gauges useful? I can't imagine having to keep track of all of that.

What kind of gauge cluster is that btw?

 

I only have Defi boost , water temp , oil pressure & fuel pressure , thats pretty standard compared to some collossal setups . As far as finding that amount of gauges useful goes? I guess I will find out when the warning lights go on aye

The centre console dash is a custom carbon Fibre setup.

 

Defi BF amber series - Cant fault them

 

+1 Looks great and has an adjustable warning light/beep as well as peak and playback capability. I had a greddy before that that did the job, but I wanted something with a warning.

 

Greddy white face in steering column pod. Works great. At night the amber lighting matches it with stock lights and whiteface turns black.

Had a Defi racer bf with red lighting and it was awesome. Only problem was it didn't like the steering column pod. Defi racers are longer than the greddy.

 

I have a defi one that I like a lot. Just wish it was in psi

 

DEFI 'D' series. Discontinued now, but still available.

 

PFC Commander on Monitor - 1 channel. It has a built in peak/hold function, and for accuracy the MAP sensor can be calibrated to whatever it needs to be. It's also tied to the PFC boost controller, so I know my boost gauge and boost control functions agree.

 

i don't think I'd be able to handle a gauge that's in BAR, it just takes too long to convert... and any time I think about boost I think PSI. i kinda want to try an electronic gauge, but just haven't gotten around to it because I have many other projects

 

PLX OLED gauge that displays 4 parameters at once. For a complete write up and pics, go here:

Can't beat them for functionality and style. Pricey if you want just one reading but not too bad for everything. For boost, you can display like a regular gauge (needle style, customizable colors), as a digital readout, as a graph, and with peak values.

 

re amemiya

 

Show off!!

Definitely an upgrade I'll be getting in the future. I'm going to stick 2 of those in my center gauge pod. Maybe even 3 who knows.

 

You know you want one!! Don't know why more guys haven't done this but I do like being unique.

 

reamemiya boost gauge with column mount from rhdjapan.com its ok... does the job
