Does name brand vs egay matter? Its a simple boost gauge right? I'm looking for something simple, that is illuminated for night driving. I don't want to drop 100 bucks a gauge for something so simple.

Can I get away with a 30-40 dollar one?

i bought a second hand turbo kit and it came with a glowshift gauge. Didnt take it long and it started sagging. Who knows if it was accurate. After i went digital ill never go back to analog.

Autozone sells sunpro, its a decent brand at a decent price.

Ah, so that is what fails on analog boost gauges? How common is it that it just reads incorrectly like a tire pressure gauge? And how much more expensive is a digital over an analog?

what are the gauges that are strongly recommended? Boost, water temp, oil pressure?

I'm running sgear and extremely happy with them. But I didn't catch your under 100$ comment.


I've got water temp, oil pressure, boost and wide band.
