If your buying a turbo "kit" it should come with a boost gauge. If not I recommend staying away from Autometer, you get what you pay for. Greddy, HKS, DEFI, and a couple others are all known for making good accurate boost gauges. My autometer was always off by at least 1-2 psi compared to the electronic boost gauge I had built into my ECU on my RX-7 which is far more accurate.

I know I keep gettig ribbed about being aero happy but an aircraft MAN gauge which reads in absolute and is very correct reading. TRouble is they do not match the automotive style. So just replace the entire dashboard in aircraft style.
Show some class. :D
