Thread: mechanical vs electric boost gauge, what do you run

i was looking to upgrade my boost gauge for a while now i have been running a mechanical autometer gauge and found a nice 2 bar greddy electric boost guge for sale locally, and was wondering if thre is any differences between the mechancial and the electric obviously the diffrences are one is electric and one is mechanical but is there any differences in their accuracy? what do you like whats your expierences?

I have always believed in mechanical gauges for just about everything. there is no sending unit to worry about going bad. the only electric gauge I have on my car is coolant temp. plus they tend to be more accurate, and full sweep.

I have all electric gauges and a mechanical boost. Electric would be more accurate and fluctuate less.

I am a mechanical fan but for coolant temp.

I'm selling my autometer boost gauge, and just keeping the Greddy Profec B2 screen, it's way more accurate.

thats what i was thinking, because technically, the map sensor is somewhat like a boost auge, becuase it reads negative presure loads and poitive pressure loads, kinda like a sending unit would be for the electric boost gauge, pretty acuratre i would think
