Maybe I live in the dark ages but the only one Ive seen is by Cyberdine.....I think they look pretty cool, but the problem I have with them is that I like to see the needle sweep and go into vaccuum as well , which these don't do(?). My analog gauge also keeps me alert of vaccuum leaks etc......maybe someone else has an opinion on these digital things.....ps the oil pressure one I heard is pretty neat too...

personaly I like the solarix models. problem is how fast is the update compared to a real time mechanical gauge.
another issue is this gauge with sender $150

DOn't waste your time with cheap gauges get the spa dual boost/egt gauge from mike licht. Reads to 1750 egt, and boost in .1 resolution to 150 psi, peak recall outputs etc.

Ever wonder why ALL race cars have analog? Try looking at a dig. display at speed. Your mind can't respond to the digital display as fast as the analog. You don't even really have to look at the needle if its in your line of sight. You just know where its supposed to be. Ask anyone how they like the digital dash.
Also...ever wonder what happened to the digital watch?

V6 ,

I think its tougher to count "in mind" the ticks on the boost gauge.

The digital gauge would just have the digits, but the update rate is my concern.

thanks

the spa looks great

$350 is out of my league tho

I think its reasonable if you see all the features you get, You could use the output to control a relay to cut your boost instantly and never overboost again! It would be a great safety feature
