Yah, they look pretty neet, just short of bling, bling! We covered this topic way back in the initial infant stages of this same forum. And the verdict was: "they are guesso meters". Ask me, I know and I love dustbins!

id rather have a guess o meter than no meter at all and my boost and volt are spot on with the reading

yip checked my "guess o meter" against a 2k greddy unit and the oddest thing happened the reading was exaxtly the same, which makes the 2k greddy unit a "guess o meter" too. :D

That is why I decided not to go for expensive guages, although here and there, there may be an acurate reading but most big names could not garentee that their product is 100% accurate.....more than gessometers....

I recently found a place that sells vdo guages for a very good price, almost the same as gessometers, so when I am ready, me go shopping for vdo's, only diffs is that all the vdo's are "manual"

I've got my boost and oil pressure there, don't suggest it if ur going to make reference to it often. If u drive leaning back, the shifter can sometimes block line of sight
