What boost gauge do you guys like?

I have a 0-30lb VDO on my GN. I am leaning towards getting a vac/boost gauge for the TTA. Also, what pillar mounts do you recommend.


TIA

I like the autometer Phantom white 30-30. I use the 2 gauge a-pillar pod from summit.

None, fit great. You can use double sided tape or screws. I used screws so I wont have to worry about it falling off in the hot sun.

Did you get just the 2 gauge holder and not the whole pillar piece?

Vdo

I have the VDO vac/boost (30/30 I think) in a single pod. I like to see the needle swing back and forth :-)

I got my gauge and pod from Poston's. I use the tape so I do not have holes in my A-pillar. It has never fallen off but I do not leave the car in the sun.

Thumbs up

I used the Autometer Sport Comp 3303 mechanical and painted the silver bezel with SEM blackout trim paint. It matches my Caspers knock gauge face & bezel, looks mint!
