I just purchased the Prosport electronic Boost and Oil press gauges and was wondering if anybody has had any performance or reliability issues with Prosport gauges. It looks like some people are having problems interpreting the wiring diagram from what I understand.

yeah, the wiring seems to have a couple ppl confuzzled. Once you've got them in and hooked up I've heard nothing but good things..

Thats good to hear. They do look impressive once there hooked up. I was just a little skeptical since they are so cheap in cost. It was all I could afford at the moment so I hope they prove to be a good item. Thanks for the feedback though.

The company is more of an upstart, so they're trying to be competitive. Honestly, other than the calibration of their mechanical boost gauge being off, I don't know of anyone who would tell you they're any different than autometer.

If I'm incorrect here, someone please step in....

i got the mech boost and volt gauge and they were very simple to install. took less than 30 min. i'm no expert when it comes to wiring things either

volt gauge would be cake, and a mech boost is easier than an electrical.

whatever gets the job done! I don't like mechanical gauges... bringing fluids into the engine bay, adding unnecessary vac hose... just not a fan, when I can use an electronic sender in its place.

true. well the mech. works fine for me plus the previous owner had already installed a boost guage so all i had to do was swap it out for the new one haha. plus i have heard the mech ones get better reading... but that is debatable

some are good, some are awful. I've heard the prosport will read 2psi high sometimes...
