Cheapest decent electronic boost gauge?
Hey ya'll,

I'm looking to find opinions on what the cheapest decent electronic boost gauge would be?

I bought defi's for the EVO but I'm looking for a boost gauge for a 1G DSM that I just bought and don't want to sink a whole lot of money into the car.


I'd really like it to be a electronic boost gauge just so I don't have to run a vaccum line to the gauge. when you do that there is always a bigger chance of a boost leak.

Boost gauge or boost controller? Prosport gauges are cheap.

yeah prosports have an electronic boost gauge for like $60. If you want, you can also go to advance auto and get a faze boost gauge for $40ish and it works great IMO.

I'll be putting my 30psi Electronic boost gauge up for sale once I remove it from the Evo. I bought a 60psi gauge since I'll be running meth so I don't need it anymore. You can't beat the price of a Prosport Gauge. It's the premium one with Peak Hold and an Alarm setpoint.

cheap and decent should not be used in the same sentence.

on a serious note; prosports seem to have good reviews. take a look in the vendor sections for gauges, you might find others you like.

My personal experience is with STRi Electronic gauges. I have the Amber, smoked lens 52mm boost gauge mounted to my steering column.

Looks awesome, matches the car.. works great. Cost around $75 I believe. A big step up from some of the cheaper brands.

I've had a mechanical boost gauge from prosport for almost 2 years now, with no problems. $40 well spent!
