Aftermarket boost guage?

[Terminator2026]

HI, i am looking to buy an aftermarket gauge and really do not have any experience in knowing what gauge would be better then another. my question is what kind of gauge should i get/do you have and would u recommend your setup to me. I am looking to spend under 150 dollars if possible.

what do you think about this brand, Stewart Warner, specific Line Series, it cost 15.73 in summit.

I suppose if it works it works, but at some point you reach a price that IMO is simply too cheap. If it's sounds to good to be true, then it probably is. I personally have never heard of them though so i'm just giving my 2 cents.

I know they used to make good factory gauges for semi trucks back in the 70s and 80s but beyond that no clue.

yeah but, how reliable will it be!

Stewart Warned gauges are fine. Why there is a "what bewst gauge should I get, guyz" thread, ten years after this forum opened, is the real question.

Prosport Premium Boost Gauge. IMO best boost gauge out there. Great lighting, good backlight when headlights are on or off. Also the premium gauges have a peak/warning LED night. So if you somehow overboost, the LED will light up warning you of the problem. Also they have recall, so if you do a pull down a drag strip, you can hit recall and it will show you what happened during the run. Replay what happened so you can see if there was an error or not, kind of like a mini datalogger. They run like ~$100 - $140. Best gauges IMO. I have an EGT, Fuel pressure and Boost Gauge made by Prosport and I love them. AEM is also good. I wouldn't go with Glowshifts. Alot of my friends have Glowshifts and they start to crap out randomly, or randomly change color or just stop working all together. Glowshifts are really hit or miss, you can get perfect ones but most of the time they will crap out after a month or so.

I have a Prosport mechanical boost gauge. It was about 40 bucks, and I have yet to have a complaint about it.
