Im looking for a replacement for my autometer boost gauge. Its sticky and about 2 psi off. Im looking for one that isnt over $150 and reads in psi. Any ideas?
hey dude! Do you care what color the gauge glows? I might have a boost gauge for ya. Its suppose to have the ability to change colors but its stuck on red for some reason soooo Hit me up. I would sell it to ya cheap!

There are some decent lines of Autometer gauges. I'm not real sure what to tell you for 150 bucks. I don't know what gauge you are using now, but if it is mechanical, it could be lagging or dropping pressure from the gauge to the measuring point. I'd say go with an electronic sender type gauge with stepper motor motion, that should clean up the discrepencies a little bit, and also give a smoother sweep.
I'm a fan of Defi, and am using a Blue Racer 30-0-30 electronic. A bit more than your $150 ceiling, but after trying a few from various manufacturers, I settled on this one due it's self calibration at power-on and the Defi reputation.
i wasn't particularly looking to buy one atm just getting some imput on what people have experience with and recommend. But fyi it glows green like the same color as the spedo and such on the 02. It is a mechanical gauge. it seems to catch at around 10psi or so then hop up to 15 or 20 depending on how hard im pushing it. Using opensource i verified that it was 2psi off.
I've been very happy with my Maddad Ultra gauges. The standalone boost gauge is pretty spendy (like the Defi), but the Maddad gauges are about the best color and text match to the stock WRX cluster. Has some cool extra features like sweep, peak/recall and datalog, as well.
