Prosport Electrical Boost Gauge

What do you guys think of the Prosport Electric boost gauge? Or should I stick with a Mechanical Boost gauge like the Stewart Warner? Here is the prosport gauge im talking about. http://prosportgauges.com/amber-whit...ost-gauge.aspx

I personally use three of Prosport's gauges. I use an egt, fuel pressure, and a volt gauge. (all electrical) I think they are a more affordable version of Defi gauges. With peak and warning functions, the price is hard to beat IMO.

As far as accuracy goes, i could not tell you on the boost but the gauges i do own are right on!

I have the electrical boost gauge, oil pressure, and egt. EGT works great, im thinking about sending the oil pressure back and getting a new one cuz it jumps around. The boost reads 16 normally, so idk if my boost is low cuz of my mods and no tune, or if it is off, but im getting tuned so will tell u what the real reading is. I love them though

I have the amber/white electrical boost gauge with peak/warning functions. Over eight months of daily driving with no issues except the hoses had to be replaced. Readings are accurate if installed correctly. Plus it matches well with the evo's interior amber light.

I have the prosports and love them. Boost, egt and oil pressure(not yet hooked up). I really like the peak and warning feature. I think the gauge may be off a bit but i have to do some logging to see. The warning feature is nice when you arent looking at the gauge and going WOT and spike 24psi.

Some mechanical gauges are not accurate.
