AEM 50psi boost gauge vs Autometer Sport Comp 45 psi
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.
Tony

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.

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.

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.
