well I received my boost gauge in the mail over the weekend & had a question. Will this one work?

I guess its my fault that I didnt specify that I wanted a Vacuum / Boost gauge like this....

But I guess as long as the one I received will work I'll stick w/ it......anyone wanna trade?

the only ones ive seen like that are typically used in deisels. although it will work... i'd send it back. it's nice to know what your vacuum is at, incase you have a vacuum leak, it is a little easier to detect with the gauge

where did you get it from? if it was a local shop, they should warranty it with store credit at least

did you email the place you bought it from? any reputible company should take it back (esp. if its unopened)

i like the Stewart Warner gauges much better... plus they have a 30vac/15psi boost gauge which is perfect for the MSP. the range of motion is greater too because we're not boosting 15psi. the autometer you have goes to 35psi... you probably won't be boosting more than 10psi... so the range of motion is alot smaller and harder to see. the second gauge is a bit better as it only goes to 20psi.

ill trade you if it matches the ones i just bought...ill let you know when i get them...i bought them used from nasioc...cause it only goes up to 20psi on the one i just bought and i dont give two shits about vaccum :)
i think i just bought sport comp series though so they might not match
