Just in case you use eBay.....don`t go near "Aggressive Guages"!!

I had a -20inhg to +20psi boost guage and there is a stop at +20 so one doesn`t know how much over the boost is going, so i wanted -30inhg to +30psi

Bought one on eBay but it was a crap 2nd hand one and got my money back then ordered the Aggressive one but it was not calibrated properly, i complained and they sent me another without returning the 1st one, and i thought that was funny, anyway the 2nd one was the same.

At hot idling i used to read -22inhg but now with this horrible guage it reads -35inhg and no car engine will read that.

The boost seems not to bad though so i am after a more expensive £50 one!

I'm using an analogue Autometer and the digi display on the Blitz SBC. Both read the same.
Autometer is a good gauge tbh, fairly quick to react. I got it cheaper from the states than most places over here.
