Hold/Peak Gauge?

[Atari007]

Ok guys, this may make me look a little "slow" (short bus slow that is), but what are those gauges that I keep seeing that are like "hold and peak" gauges... they are mad expensive and I have no idea what they are for...... Thanx--

They would have a memory feature that would show the highest the gauge went. For example your peak boost was 24lbs.

It just seems like most of them dont go to say 20psi, or 30psi... the go from like -30 to 0 to .5 then 1.0 then 1.5 then 2.0 and thats about it... you know what im saying? it just doesnt look like it makes any sense to me... ill try to find a picture so you can see what im talking about...

the gauge you are talking about is in bar. You would need to kno the converted number to put it in psi. I believe 1 bar is equivalent to 14.7 psi.

You mean peak-hold/warning gauges. The peak-hold works as stated above. The warning is another feature; you set a point where you want a warning light to go off. The Greddy egt I ordered also has a warning wire that can be used to attach to a buzzer so it goes off when you're over the pre-set warning. Even higher end gauges have memory functions that will repeat what the gauge was doing during a run.
