Default What boost gauge should i get?

What brand would you recommend for a boost gauge. i want something that is going to read accurately yet not be too expensive at the same time. Thanks for your help

Do you have a boost controller? If not, get a GReddy Profec B Spec II. Good EBC and Its got a real time digital boost gauge that just reads pressure off a vacume line from your intake manifold. Would be the same accuracy as a mechanical boost gauge but can also control boost, 2 in 1.

If you want any more accurate, get a Defi or an Apexi EL2 boost gauge, they are electronic but cost.

although defi is very good as you can go thru it and check what you were boosting at when it peaked etc etc

Who has time to look at gauges when you're on noise? Gotta look out for police, speed cameras, cars, motorbikes, pedestrians and hoon catchers.

Defi do make a electronic gauge that doesnt require spending hundreds on a controller. only thing is its only available in 52mm size, but at least is only like $220.
