Will this Boost/Vacum Gauge fit my car?

Mr. DAK · 09-30-2015, 11:06 AM

So i was looking to put in a Boost Gauge and found this in local Oriley shop, will this work or do i have to go with better like AEM Gauges?

Like $98 for this one. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...ost+%26+vacuum

That will work just fine.

That's a mechanical gauge so you'll need to run a vacuum line to the gauge. Not a big deal though. I actually prefer a mechanical gauge for vacuum/boost as it's far more responsive. If you get an electrical gauge you can usually get some better features like peak recall and what not.

Shop around and you'll find some better prices. Summit Racing carries a lot of gauges too.

Where are you going to mount it? I was thinking of getting one too but don't know where to mount it. I hate the look of mounting it in the vent. In front of the shifter is pretty useless too. On the steering column might be the only option.

P3cars gauge goes in vent but looks much better than a gauge sitting else were imo
Plus has other functions

Should've just gotten a jb4 and used the gas gauge as a boost gauge for a bit more.. even if you keep it on stock boost levels

Yes i know how JB4 works, not a fan of the gauge system they have. Just a personal preference.

I have Jb4 but didn't really care for the guage hacking. Here is mine done with a $5 ebay guage pod. The angle is absolutely perfect.
