Need a cheapest accurate boost gauge.. which one do i go wit.

Yes i know all the top brands are the best to go wit but i need something simple cheap and accurate.. i dont need a fancy one that does more..jus a gauge ...I heard the cheap brands (ebay brands) arent accurate..
so any suggestions.. i found a few on lancershop.. im not lookin to spend over $60..
or should i jus wait for a used autometer to pop up for sale?
thanks

Most boost gauges that run off a vacuum line from the manifold vs. a map sensor will be inacurate. There are a few variables as to why this occurs. Your best bet is an autometere gauge if you want the cheap route.

There are many out there.

Look into ProSport Guages.
Mine is dead-on with my JDM map sensor.

If you can find a defi d-series gauge that would be inexpensive. They have been discontinued but they are nice gauges for the price.

cheap and reliable... I went w/ "Glowshift". blacked out when off, and lights up nice and bright, when on. Accurate, so far! I like them! Just dont waste ur money on the A/F guage as its just a light going back and forth!
Got mine as a set w/ a triple A-Pillar guage pod/3 guages for like $170 from AUTOCITYIMPORTS.COM.
