Important turbo guages

Yeah. Cheap gauges are pretty pointless tbh.

Do it right or dont bother. (best to not bother)

The SPA ones are about £170, but well worth it imo, far less clutter.

I've looked around at a few gauges before now, hard to spot the middle ground though. There's the obvious cheap gauges for £50 for 3 etc that probably just guess somewhere between min and max numbers, then the opposite end you've got stuff like that at £180 a guage (excluding stuff like stack dashes etc) but my perception of it was the £50-70 kinda of area can't be tooooo bad.

Tbh I havent looked in years, but like most products within the modified car industry. The market is full of 'pretend crap' for ebay & the like. Avoid like the plague IMO.

Seen a few back to back test's, and a fair few times the cheaper gauges out perform the £££££ ones! So you cant always go off the price! (by cheap i dont mean the £50 for 3), those ones will no doubt be toss!

Thanks for the feedback guys. I've done a search and checked reviwes and what not fopr the gaues I linked and the expensive model show has come up with good reviews about accuracy etc.

I've seen guages for £15 although can't remember where but it's just plain obvious that they are pants.

Yeah I mentioned those as the obvious 'toss' ones, but there's no way to tell whats overpriced for what it is, whats all singing all dancing spot on accurate and whats a diamond in the rough of the £50 bracket. Any idea where those back to back tests are? Wouldn't mind checking them out.

The testing was done on boost gauges, think it was in fast ford or performance ford, was ages ago though! sorry for the lack of help. I would just go with a well known brand, doubt you will go far wrong!
