lotek boost gauge any good?

[xhaust50]

I will probably buy the single gauge pod for my 1g and need a boost gauge. Is the lotek one accurate? I'm looking for a gauge that is pretty stock looking, and since it's only $20 I thought I'd ask. Otherwise I'll probably order a VDO or and OBX. By the way, I did a search and all the replies were about the pods, not about the gauge (maybe that says something). Thanks.

if you want stock looking, go with a Defi gauge. You will see there add every once in a while on the site. it has a black face but the numbers and such are white. Then when lit up they are the stock orange lighting color. Then again they are quite pricey.

Yeah I'm pretty much looking for a cheap one that is stock looking. Thanks for the reply though.

i have that boost gauge from lotek in my gst and it had run perfect for 2 years. for the price you cant beat it.. if i were you i would go with a double gauge pod tho.. its not much more money and really later on youll want one.. i have a 2 pod pillar and now i need a 3 pod.. so

ya for the cahs its a good unit.. and it looks very stock.

I just ordered one with a dual guage pod, so I hope it works good!

Are they sticking their names on a gauge now? I'd be curious who builds it. Their pods are about the best, and the VDO gauges are very similar to stock DSM. But boost/vac gauges are fairly low-tech (1700s) and have minor accuracy issues.

Lotek gauge pods are awesome. Looks completely stock.

Here's mine. Don't mind the screws, they do come with a cap so you can't see the screws, but I was having boost gauge problems, so had to take it off (As you can see, my boost gauge isn't point to zero.....)

I regret not going with the three-pod, though, since I'm going to get an EGT gauge once I get my exhaust. So I don't know why anybody would get it with only one pod.
