Lotek guage

[punishercb]

Has anybody ever used the lotek guages? I was looking at their site and they are selling a 20 psi guage for $20. It's a hell of a deal, I can get a pod and a guage for under 50 bucks! I'm just wondering if the guage will last.

Ive got one. Ive been running it for 4 months now with no real problems. Its really hard to see the needle at night though and the vacume hose it comes with is to small to fit a standard 1/8 t fitting.

I got a single gauge pos as well and im not real happy with the fitment of it. Ile be upgrading it when i buy some new gauges.

Huh, thanks for the reply. I've never heard of this brand and I was curious how they worked. So you can't see the guages at night at all? It's still a hell of a deal and I'm still wondering if it might be worth putting up with the low visibility.

If you want a cheap boost gauge get a VDO

I don't know about the vdo gauge. I just checked it out and they don't look too good. The Lotek guages at least show the vacuum(I think that's what it's called. The numbers going left past 0 boost)

I have a VDO gauge. I bought it a year or two ago and its still going strong. Its easy to read under any light and it DOES read vacuum. Get it! -Matt

you just have to get one that shows boost and vacuum:

Yah the problem with the Lotek gauge is that the needle is white so it doesent show up at night against the backlit numbers. The color of the gauges light with the orange condom on is very close to the stock dsm cluster though. Im pretty happy all in all with the purchase, you cant beet it for $20.

Hey RamenPride, how much did that gauge cost you? Also, does it have a backlight?

Thanks

I actually have an Autometer. The VDO gauge goes for about $27 at Summit Racing
