Most Accurate Boost Gauge on the Market.
Hey guys...Im looking for the most accurate boost gauge on the market right now. Im boosting beyond my stock gauge and want to know exactly what I am spiking at. Plus, alky is just around the corner...

Ive read numerous threads of people's boost gauges being off by multiple PSI. Im just curious to know which one(s) are the most accurate out there. Any testing results would be nice if available.

I am thinking about the Defi Blue Racing Boost Gauge. I want a high reading, electrical boost gauge that reads in PSI. What is the most accurate one out there?

Thanks!

P.S. - Any other gauges highly recommended for high PSI to insure everything is functioning properly?

Thats what I thought along until I ran into a thread saying it was off by 1.5 psi and I believe Al or Warrtalon said that they are never recommended...

Defi are the most accurate. They are electonic. and all cost between 150-200 a piece. There is a certain model however that you need to get a controler box with. The Blue whatevers dont need the box.

Im on my third Autometer. At least they keep warrenting them for me
