Need advice for boost gauge
I am in the market for a manual boost gauge. I do not want the mechanical, everyday AutoZone or Autometer boost gauge. I am ultimately trying to avoid the cheap little plastic line from the boost source to the gauge. I am looking for but not limiting myself t0:
15-0-50
or something in that range.
I am not looking into the Tru-Boost either.

The last time I installed an STRI X-Series boost gauge in a Subie...as soon as I saw the plastic "hose" I ran to Autozone immediately. Install went perfect with the rubber hose and has had zero issues.

I am looking for recommendations to buy
I am in Sharana. Heading to Ghazni. Then to Gardez.
I do not have an APC.
I am not sure how that would work. The last cheap one I bought, had no choice but to run the plastics; thank you for the idea though!

Get whatever gauge you like best...and just replace that plastic line if it comes with one. You can get rubber hose in almost any diameter from Autozone or Pepboys for like $0.80 per foot. So for like $6 you're more than covered and won't be limiting yourself based on what comes in the box with the gauge.

The prosport gauges are pretty good. They make an annoying BEEEP on startup though. They are good quality though. Also, they are the lowest priced yet quality gauges you will find with a peek hold.
