Was that a joke, or are you serious? How well do those work?

They work perfect. Don't let the haters tell you they won't. I know a lot of people run that AutoMeter Gauge with the carbon fiber face. Just make sure it reads over 20 psi. I know that Checker stocks the carbon faced boost gauge I bought one from there for my Subaru. Zach runs that gauge in fact.

That's actually one of the two I was looking at... that, and the.. uh, Lunar? Both Autometer, both really freakin cheap for gauges, both look like they should read well... If Zach's got one, and you say they're good, then I think my quest is over

I just checked online and the store in American Fork has it stocked, but it only reads to 20psi. That would be ok if you dont want to raise boost over 20.

I would call the big checker on state and see what they have. Usually they can have anything shipped from store to store pretty fast.

jake, the autometers are just fine. these ricer diehards like only the rice stuff. i've run autometer gauges for years now w/o any problems (knock on wood). checker, napa, and pepboys sell them. they have a few diff. styles to choose from.

Just buy it and like tape it to my dash or something... I can't believe you looked for me Jared... if you actually looked... I'll look around... and since it took me so long to post this... Thank you too Ray

Let's assume (even though it makes an *** out of u and me) that I get a fuel pump, an MBC and a gauge? Any volunteers? Well, actually Al I've seen has done a lot of the MBC installs... so then, yeah

Yeah, Pep Boys sells them also. Go look around and buy one. They sell mounting pods also. But if you don't want to spend the money now you can just "set" it someplace. All of that stuff is super easy to install. We could do it on Saturday while we wait for the tuning. Don't worry about Al doing it. We've got plenty of fools who just love to work on cars.

Nothing is complicated, but nothing ever goes as planned. You will learn that when you start working on your car.
