The stock boost gauge is in a really bad spot, I mean if your looking down at it while your going WOT your definately not watching the road.

Many folks flip the gauges and the radio for better ergonomics.

I never had a problem with that line on my 8. Not saying the problem doesn't exist, but I am saying they are cheap enough some could live with it.

Let me see if I have a pic.



All autometer. They were great except one of the red leds would sometimes go off. Couldn't ever figure out why.

Did you have a chance to compare the boost gauge with a logged MAP sensor to check its accuracy? What was the variance?

I did compare it to a dynojet reading, and it was pretty damn accurate. I couldn't ever tell a difference. If I had to guess I'd say it was within .0 to .3 psi of the dynojet.

you can take your stock bezel and bore it out and it will accomodate three aftermarket larger gauges.i hate my mr gauges there to small to read on the fly
