so im rather the picky type, the autometer gauge worked but i had to have better. so me being compulsive along with my pickiness for looks i had to buy a lotek pod and greddy 52mm boost gauge. now i figured a gauge is a gauge right...wrong. not all are created equal think about this if your about to or ever going to buy one in the near future.

the greddy gauge will run you 145$ just about and it looks really good. heres the trick though, its more responsive than the autometer which in my mind justifies the added price. when playing with throttle the greddy gauge responds faster and moves more fluidly. and i notice more spike than before.

so i talked to socalieclipse for a while about the difference between the 2 gauges and heres our thoughts. basically because the greddy gauge has an electronic sender the air doesnt have to travel as far and have the possibility to be blocked. the pressure is figured and sent out to the gauge. all be it the greddy is in bars and to some people thats majorly intimidating but in the end i find it worth the money i spent on it.

either gauge seems fairly accurate enough just for the tuner looking to get there car in that ultimate sweet spot the extra money might well be worth it. the peak hold version has even more functionality and can help troubleshoot creap and spike without having to take your eye off the road


ill be posting pics soon in my gallery

Nice post mike...yes i do have to agree with you that the GReddy is a more real-time accurate gauge and its nice not to worry about if your gauge is correct or not....case like you said to me the other night, if you are runnin 26 psi on race gas and your gauge is reading like 2psi low, then that spells detonation! Stay up!
