I am looking at buying a Boost gauge. I know the differences between electrical and mechanical but im looking for what most people have. I have read that the mechanical after a year or couple isn't accurate anymore where as the electrical is. I also know that mechanical is slightly faster but im looking for longetivity, repeatable consistency, and best customer service. Reason why I am looking at the 45psi and 50psi is for when I go to the bigger turbo and push more boost that way I dont have to upgrade my gauge from 30 or 35. Ill be getting a AEM UEGO is why im asking this also. Thanks and any help is appreciated.

I run the AEM 50psi gauge. It reads the same as my 3 bar MAP sensor so no complaints here.

 

Autometer's quality was wildly all over the place a few years ago.....not sure if its gotten better. If they are the same price I would get the AEM.

 

my AEM digital has been good. had issues with the aem mechanical

 

The autometer is 61 bucks and the 50psi aem is 161 shipped. Just trying to get as many opinions as I can. I heard the reliability thing about autometer as well which is why it spawned this question. Thanks guys so much already

 

I know its not a choice, but I really like my STRI DSD-SLM II, 45psi, recall and peak warning. looks great. Just another option for you. If I had to choose between the two I would go with the digital.

 

Thanks Casper. They look like the defi and they are still more expensive then the AEM. Thanks though.

 

Innovate makes a MTX-D dual function boost/rpm shift light which is like 170, goes to 43psi I think. Might be a nice option for drag racing.

 

WTH are you talking about?

 

I have noticed this person keeps getting removed and comes back always posting the same random crap just under a different username. Also this person always has "bmw" listed as what the user drives.

 

Trollerific.

 

Thanks guys. Got the aem one.
