A good boost gauge.

Who has custom boost gauge in the car? And what is a good one that reads psi. Any of you guys got the kind that tells you what boost your last run was?

Thanks.

www.zeitronix.com

displays four variables (boost, egt, lamda, and AF). has peak hold. can also be hooked up to a laptop to datalog and graph the above mentioned four variables, as well as TPS, RPM, and something else I can't remember.

i've been using it for a while now. great unit and the most useful of the bunch. not to mention it's a value compared to the defi stuff.

Don't all Turbos have the boost gauge in the instrument pod already? Mine does and it's factory.

Also, is that panel in your center console an "off the shelf" item or did you have it built?

Oh and what did you do with your HVAC controls?

Stock boost gauge will not show accurate boost on EVO "GT" packages. And it's "racey" not "ricey"
