RE: boost gauge
Stewart Warner and Autometer gauges are nice and a lot more accurate then a VDO.
I don't know if you have a B5, B6 or B7 chassis car but if you have a B6/B7 then I sell a pod made for it. Check it out at www.podi.ca
If you have a B5 then that pod is presently being modelled and will be released in early 2007.

RE: boost gauge
I hear great things about Stewart Warner and Omori, but I can't offer advice based on experience, just what I've read while on the forums.
I think if you're spending $15 on a gauge, you're throwing money away - If you're spending $300 on a gauge, you're throwing money away....catch my drift?
***And regarding quality for the money, I can't see how anything out there is a better value than MC Hammered's steering column gauge pod.

RE: boost gauge
Please don't take my original reply as bash to a VDO gauge.
They do their job great but it is my experience that there are other gauges that are more accurate but they do cost more money as well.
How can I back that statement? Well when testing different brands of gauges I actually hooked up 2 boost gauges at the same time in my car to see how they would read and had a friend at UBC test them out to see if they were out of spec. I tested VDO, Omori, Stewart Warner, Autometer and Defi units.

And which was the most accurate?
