Are these boost gauges any good?

I like the look of the second one (Swoosh). It says it's Electronic too which means you don't have to run vac hoses into the dash - the sensor can sit in the engine bay.

 

It is 60mm though so unless you have a gauge pod, it'll have to go in place of an air-vent (the clock is 52mm).

i bought the 1st one. I fitted it where the clock was.

 

i think they're good for the money and work ok. Although it doesn't settle on zero when the engine is turned off, but does if you tap it ?!?

 

Also you have to have the head lights/side lights on in order to see it as its too dark, apart from that i'm happy with it.

 

the tube you get with it is just about long enough so you must find the most direct route or it want reach!

ok im gonna get the deffi ones.

 

One more question - if was to get a boost controller in the future would i still be able to keep the boost gauge funtional. im guessing yes

 

 

edit to add - boost controllers are about £300 right? would it be logical to just get a swanky boost controller instead? :shrug:

You will love the DEFIs I have sold some sets of BF and the Link ones and everybody loved it.

 

What do you mean with boost controller functional?

 

The cheapest electronic controllers currently are the Greddy ProfecB & Blitz Spec S both cost around 250pounds.
