What is the best option for a Digital Boost Gauge? I saw that Blitz sells a Turbo timer that also has a Digital Boost Gauge. Are digitals accurate? I just feel that they are easier to read than a mechanical one in which you cant tell what the PSI is exactly at a given point.

Feedback?

you really don't need to be able to read it any more accurately than the closest psi. tenths really mean nothing when you are driving. for example, if you car cant handle 19 psi, its not going to matter if its really boosting to 18.9 or 19.1. and if you are driving you aren't going to look up and see 19.1 and say, "uh, oh, better back that off a little." i would expect some differences from pass to pass as well or run to run or whatever.
and no, from everything i have read, digital/electronic is not any more accurate than mechanical, maybe less so because there is more crap in the way from where the boost is read to where it is shown. i like my mechanical autometer and it wasn't that hard to install and its easy to read. my greddy turbo timer has a boost gauge reading thing and i don't trust it. id rather go with the autometer.
