best boost guage?

verticalnytro08 · Feb 11, 2010

Ive got a mcx 180 and the guage they sent me in the kit is JUNK. Its A 0-30psi that sits at 2psi when the sled is off and there is no adjustment. What are others using, im looking for somthing in the 0-15 range, would a fuel pressure guage work? I just want somthing I can trust

Auto Meter Liquid filled with boost and vac combo so at idle when it is running at vac so it won't mess up gauge.

this is the one that i got in the kit, it always reads 2psi, is it adjustable? do you know if a 0-15 is available? thanks.

Guage

There is a small phillips screw that treads into the side of the case. Simply loosen it and let the pressure inside the guage case equalize with atmospheric pressure, the retighten. As atmospheric pressure changes the guage may read hi or low.

Same, I used a non-liquid gauge for two days. Then had to fork out another 150 bucks for a liquid Autometer Liquid 0-30lbs. with vac 0-30.
Great gauge that is easy to read and stays super steady!

The autometer digital ones are nice alot easier to read than the analogue (dial) type. Just it has to wired to come on before the sled starts so it can autozero.

Ya I think digital would be best, Ill try the bleed screw again maybe never backed it out far enough, BB is your guage the 0-60 and does it bounce around much? Also we are west mar 1 probably, give me a call if you r interested.

I am using the Turbosmart E boost 2 electronic boost control, if that what you mean? works deadly!

I am not sure what range the autometer one is but it is as steady as a rock and it has bright numbers which you can see clearly on the sunniest days!

Autometer 5404, great gauge seems very durable and accurate.....liquid filled. Rolled my sled, banged up the gauge good and it kept on tickin'! Ordered another, and different pod (plain black) instead of the carbon fibre one....it has small hole to bleed gauge for altitude changes! It was $110 locally for gauge and pod!
