Guest RedLineGTR Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Try maybe the new HKS ones they use a different EL type system and last 10times longer. They still read in bar same as the apexi ones. IF anyone has a boost gauge for sale as well please PM me.

Guest RedLineGTR Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 the globe or whatever they use to light them up last longer than the apexi ones etc. The boost gauge that i would get would either be the Deli gauges or a greddy electric gauge. Those are my two favourites. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/22240-boost-guagewhat-guage-do-u-have/#findComment-477428 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin 09 Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 EBCs have digital boost readings too... so you don't have to have a separate gauge. Additionally Trust Profec B Spec II's have a warning when overboosting, so its function does the same as a electronic boost gauge with warning Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/22240-boost-guagewhat-guage-do-u-have/#findComment-477918 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally Trust Profec B Spec II's have a warning when overboosting, so its function does the same as a electronic boost gauge with warning I got the profec b spec 2 but u can watch that all the time for boost reading unless its in front of your face. I also got the apexi EL boost gauge, and they dont use bulbs, its called EL electro luminicent light, when the electricity hits the EL material the reaction it creates is the light u see. The Jap gauges are also much more accurate than the american autometer/splitfire gauges around.
