Default boost gauges

Will the fitments/wiring of different types of boost gauge be the same?

i.e. - if i bought a different make of gauge to replace the one I have, will it be a case of just disconnecting one, then re-connecting another?

Probably not I'd imagine, as nothing is ever simple!!

Cheers

Should just be able to put a new one in if it's mechanical - if it has a sensor, then you'll probably have to change gauge and sensor as the sensor may be calibrated differently.
