I hate electronic gauges
finally after weeks of waiting i got my new kooks 1 7/8" long tubes on with 3" O/R x-pipe, brand new 3.4" pulley, fire it up, make sure everything is good, take it down off the jackstands and go for a little ride only to watch this damn boost gauge shoot up and blink at me, I guess its maxing out, it seemed fine when it only made 6-7 lbs of boost with a 3.6" pulley, not its all jacked up, the recall dosent work, and I'm a little worried about the amount of boost I'm running now, who knows what it is?
On another note, this thing is a beast now
Time to order some good old reliable mechanical sweep gauges, something
I can read

I am not a great fan of electronic boost guages. I looked for a good mechanical and could not find what I wanted. The problem with most was the vacuum part of the guage was 1/3 of the reading and the 30 psi remaing 2/3 did not give very good resolution. I have been using a mechanical 0 -15psi fuel pressure guage for the past 5 years, works great and inexpensive.
