Thread: Most Accurate Boost Guage?

same here.

I used to think that about Autometers (being accurate) until I started racing dirt circle track and 1st had my new autometer oil pressure gauge fail on the 1st night out and then the water temp quit 2 races later (needle actuall fell off the oil pressure). Funny thing is that I could look @ 75 different dirt race cars and outside of the use of Monster Tachs you’d be lucky to find 4 or 5 of those cars that use autometer gauges..they just can’t seem to take the vibration & abuse…again my 15 plus year old set of beaten up SW gauges are still dead on accurate, but they look ghetto and are mechinical, plus a boost gauge is not available). I also had 2 more fail in my offroad rig (again less than 1 year old) as well as other buddies having issues with them in their race cars, so I guess you could say I'm quite bitter against Autometer now.
I've read a lot about autometer mechanical boost gauges being terribly inaccurate lately and this is what sparked to want to ditch the last of my autometers.
The problem is that Autometer spends so much on advertising and contingency point funds that everyone assumes that they are the best, so it’s hard to find anyone using anything else.

i heard of these new gauges from this website . plxdevices.com . it looks pretty good . they got a bunch of good reviews at the sema show in vegas .
