What Gauges do I need on a low boost setup?

[Muzz]

What do you guys think of this 4 in one gauge from speco, its $300 and comes with a 1 year warranty. http://www.speco.com.au/tachos.html Its the 5th one down, on the left.

Does anyone have any experiance with this tacho, or any speco gauges for that matter. Im a little concerned with quailty, as they are on the cheaper end of the scale.

5" 12 volt 4 in 1 memory recall tacho
0–12,000 rpm, with oil pressure (0–100 psi), water temperature (0–0120&#186, boost (0–30 psi), external shift light, 12,000 rpm dial, red back lighting. Includes electrical senders and boost gauge line kit.

Also, you can mount gauges like this into a flat panel correct?

Generally speco are cheap low quality gauges... however only really know this by word of mouth, not experience. if its got a 1 year warrenty and you wanna give it a go, and the price is right.... why not?

i would say boost and oil pressure.

+1 for boost and oil pressure.

i have known these cheap ebay gauges more accurate than $150 autometer ones.

How do i know???? Simple. I have used an e-boost, an autometer pro-comp and a cheap $30 ebay one.

Both the eboost and $30 ebay one read the same all the time, while the autometer would very often be off.

I told autometer and got it replaced. Same problem.

Now, back to using the $30

That's what I've gone for

Also, luke, try and get one that reads boost in PSI not BAR. At such a low boost, reading BAR is difficult considering 1 bar is abound 12 13 psi

[DLO01]

Thats like saying get KPH not MPH, because 100mph is about 161kph.

Bar gauges don't go up by the Bar they do have increments.

It comes down to personal preference, that is all.

Ok sick, lets make sure the standard kit his using is only going to 0.3447379 BAR, and later we'll boost it to 0.4862 BAR.

There ok, just trying to make life a little easier. U can ask the seller if he'll give u a PSI one instead, if u want it that is
