Cool boost gauge

I was wondering what type of boost gauges do you guys out there have on your evo. I am not sure whether to go electrical or mechanical. to me simplicity is great but my main thing is accuracy.

thanks

personally i prefer defi guages over autometer..autometer is great but they deal with primarily american cars...defi is what i trust when it comes to turbo cars from Japan especially the evo..

Some of Defi's products may be a little too expensive, but you really pay for the quality and assurance.

D-gauges are around the same price as auto-meter, and I think Japanese gauges are always better in terms of make quality than US products, at least IMO.

Autometer. Mine was cheap and it reads exactly what the dyno's boost guage read.

I have a Defi link boost gauge in my car and it was worth every penny. Defi or not, I definitely prefer electronic gauges as the thought of fishing vacuum tubes throughout my dash without getting them kinked seems like a pain. Plus, you're only using one wire for up to 7 gauges, hence much cleaner install once you start adding other gauges besides boost.

IMO as long as it is electronic, I wouldn't worry about it...
