Default BOOST GAUGE ??????

Hi all, I've been looking at fitting a boost gauge but was unsure of which make to purchase, I dont want to spend silly money on the likes of Defi etc but I have seen one that I like the look of made by "Auto Gauge" for about £30.00,

Just need to know if any one has used them before and what's there verdict on them ie: how accurate etc,

CHEERS!

Nomad ones are pretty good. But I would be inclined to stretch to the Autometer guages at about £60. Don't even bother with TIM guages they are shite!

NEver used an Autoguage so can't say whether it's any good or not. Sorry

Tooo late! I bought it anyway, it looks good but as Red16 mentioned I dont know how accurate it will be compared to the more expensive gauges, but for 30 notes I will just chuck it if it's crap.

I bought it from eBay: the selers name was autogaugeuk but I just had a look and he has'nt got any items for sale at the moment, he only had 3 new gauges when I was looking, I dont know if there are any other selers in the UK but click on the link for the main web site to see the full range.

Hope this helps!

Bargain I reckon. I think they look alright those Ford gauges! and £200 for 4 is pretty good I've got 5 SPA's and they are more than that EACH and a one of mine just lost its backlight
