cheaper boost guages??
are there any good boost guages that read in psi that arent $200+? and are there any that dont require a $100+ control unit? im not lookin for some real nice guage that mounts all cooland stuff but i guess a nice would be better, just one that reads psi and works good. thanks

Stewart Warner gauges are awesome. I'm going to be ditching my VDO gauge for an SW soon.

I like Autometer even though my boost gauge in my Saturn needs to be recalibrated because it's off by 1 psi.

i've had an autometer that was off by 2 psi, sent it back and got one in return that was only off 1 psi! yeah! i'd never buy another autometer, i'll shell out the dough and get a quality gauge or maybe try that stewart warner company they're talking about.

Stewart Warner is the most accurate when compared to a map sensor(according to Al and Dave it reads right on). I will be getting one soon and ditching the Autometer.....well, probably put the Autometer in the Subie
