Mechanical vs Electrical Autometre Guages

[Bobjones]

People,

I am in a position to purchase a few of these while I am in the states.

Can anyone please give me the pro's and con's of using either mechanical or electric analogue boost guages, oil pressure guage, water temp, oil temp.

If anyone can help it would be appreciated including what models of guages they have used. So far to date I have only used mechanical analogue guages and was wondering if the electric were better...

If you don't know what I am talking about go to

I have had a electrical boost guage in my r33 gtst and have had an old mechanical in my vl turbo, and to say, the electrical guages only come in the smaller size where as the mechanical ones come in two different sizes. I would prefer the elctrical ones as its a little bit safer for a couple of wires to be coming into the car rather than a hole massivly long vaccuum line. the eltrical ones have a map sensor that you mount in you engine bay and feed the vaccuum line to that. quite an easy job to install also.

I have a c2 boost guage. part number 7160.

if you bring back a boost/vaccuum guage ill swap you for the boost one

hehe.
