what Electronic boost Gauge - SEAT Cupra.net

What boost gauges are people using and where is the best place to get them from?
My LCR currently has an AutoGauge and its the most inaccurate gauge ive ever seen. (does look cool though LOL)

i use auto gauge fitted with stepper motors, its very nice to look at, super bright at night. most importantly they are very accurate, the only place i have ever found them is on ebay from hong kong, but trust me they are worth getting.
here is a link

cheers for that but what does stepper mean?
The one I already have is a colour changing Auto Gauge and its rubbish
We the car is plugged into diag its boost 22 psi yet the gauge goes off the scale past 30

I have one of those and i bought it from Halfords in Chatham just under 3 months ago to replace my old rubbish one, I agree a good accurate boost gauge.

the only way i can descibe it is, works like a swiss watch with electronic movment

. also to get the best reading from your boost gauge, t off the fpr instead of the dump valve

Get the halfords auto gauge one. I have done a guide in the faq section on how to fit it correctly.

Hopefully the build quality of them has improved now. had a couple of them in the past and they werent very accurate.

The stepper motor one i have running off the fpr reads the same as my liquid gauge, so i would say its accurate

i had a look in our bog halfords over the weekend and they only do the mechanical ones at £24.99 and they are about as good as a Chocolate Fire guard
