should be straight. I like AEM because it does just about everything on 1 gauge.

I just ordered some AEM gauges finally. I've been rocking Autometer (Ultralite 2/Pro comp) for the past couple years and they have been rock solid (if I like the AEM they will be in the classifieds though).
No real complaints on the Autometers.

Mechanical boost gauges are relatively harder to install, however are cheaper and provide a more accurate reading as compared to electronic gauges. Electronic gauges on the other hand are easier to install but more expensive and less accurate due to more things that can go wrong with electricity.

The AEM gauges that I have installed on the car have been extremely satisfactory, installation was a snap, and I personally prefer the digital readouts for quick glances or peripheral vision over a needle gauge.

sorry guys thanks for all your support. All the people talks about AEM and DEFI. I never ask this question what is the problem with the autometer gauges. i already buy the AEM but i never understand what was the problem with those.

Just like everyone has said, AEM or Defi. They have just seemed to be a higher end gauge than Autometer.. nothing wrong with auto meter; just seem to be higher quality. Gauges are nothing to spare on!

AEM Wideband Failsafe is the way to go. It is a WB and boost gauge in one. It also has a failsafe output so you can cut boost if you are lean. It also has a built in data logger so you can export to VDR with it.
