Quality boost gauges do people use?

[Allspeeds]

Bit off a Boring post but what brand of boost gauge are people using? Seen a few people using similar ones but not been close enough to see the brand

[no class]

nothing about boost is boring...….every part has it's place in the grand scheme of things  . Are you looking for a glycerine filled jobbie or electronic type ?  

[Gixer1460]

Liquid filled mechanical types are just so much more reliable on bikes than dry electronic ones - high frequency vibes will usually kill them or shake them to bits - my personal preference!

Just some generic glycerine filled stainless gauge from hydraulics / pneumatic shop should be good. I have had mine in use for over ten years. Still works just perfectly and I think I paid less than 20€ for it back in the days. Pretty good bang for a buck.

Yah I want a glycerin filled std type not electronic

Here are some examples:

I've got this one. Bought it to match the dynojet wideband gauge. It's mechanical and needle shakes like hell, I only get decent readings when bike is at full boost. Thing was like 6x the money of the previous glycerine filled one....

Thanks for your feedback

Sounds like you need to put a restrictor in the boost signal pipe near to the gauge to damp the needle if its shaking.

I plan on 'borrowing' this factory gauge off the wife's Impreza Turbo,  40mm dia Mechanical gauge and very accurate

I'm  giving the KOSO a try. So far so good, and has a peak recall but not much time on it to see how it holds up.

This is the type I fancy what fitting does it have on the back mate?

[Allspeeds]

Is that a 50mm or 63mm size gauge mate?

[clivegto]

This is my one just cable ties to fastern the pipe on the back.

[Allspeeds]

Do I need a gauge to read some negative vacuum or will 0-2.0 bar be ok? Some of you run with and without?

No you don't need it I just thought it would be Intresting.

Strangely enough on tick over it reads -6 & I have never seen it above +8. When I had it on John Warrington's dyno we pipped his big gauge that is fastened to the wall onto the bike. It measured 15.9 psi on full wack. Pic is of bike on tick over 950 revs -6psi.

Is yours just 1/4 bsp with the pipe pushed over the threads?
