I am going to need to buy a boost gauge shortly (Finally getting around to sorting the car out thanks for the Avon pic's making me more determined to do so).

What make of gauge would you recommend? I have seen the Tim ones which kind of appeal due to the fact the needle will flick all the way around the gauge. However how accurate are the Tim models? As after all what I really want it to tell me is how much boost the engine is running so I can set me bleed valve.

Thanks In advance

I've got a TIM one, and its really annoying, the needle vibrates in time with my charger.
Next one i buy will be one of those flash water filled ones.

Im pretty sure those gauges are filled with oil of type, dampens the vibrations.

My Racetech one reads vacuum on boost. Crap!

I'm terribly sorry, but my boost gauge is a Mocal one.. It's the fuel pressure which is Racetech!
