Just on the topic of gauges, being an instrument/electrical fitter by trade, when I got my 30psi Autometer boost gauge, I had to check the calibration on it. I was amazed to find it reading 3 pound out at full scale. The error varied up and down scale, so repeatability was an issue.
I returned it and got another. Same again (not as bad this time).
This continued with a few other gauges, different makes too. I finally settled on a VDO number, accurate to .2 psi. Pretty good I thought, so yeah, as far as I can tell, VDO are the most accurate and don't look too shabby either!

Cheers

Gabe


Very interesting info! I'm very curious to know how bad the other 'big name' gauages are, now.
