Boost Gauges

Post by Ero_sennin »

What boost gauges do you guys have?
Accuracy?
Price?

Any Recommendations?


Damn lots of question marks. :shock:

I also use a cheapy, I could boost 1.5 bar or only 0.5 and I don't know it, a proper one is going to start at about R900.

if i had the cash i would use deFi, or Greddy, HKS, those are fancy jap gauges!!!

slightly cheaper but well known to be of the highest quality is the VDO range of gauges - although they are not as pretty as the others!

VDO's boost guage is about that much, but not even half as pretty. but i prefer function over form. i'd rather have an ugly gauge give me an accurate reading, than a pretty gauge tell me lies!!! kinda like dating a supermodel who is supercrap in bed!!!!

where is metrika made??? do have they have accuracy certificates draco?

I use the Zeitronic AFR it displays my boost, It uses a military standard pressure sensor so it is accurate down to 3 decimal places.
