Gauges

The quote mentioned by Casey and Daz in this thread regarding gauges -

Cheap gauges will do that to you. You need to spend a fair few hundred bucks on a quality Japanese electronic gauge to have any hope of repeatable accuracy.


What is a good quality Japanese guage :?:

Links anyone :?:

Good question Andrew. I have always used autometer because I thought they were a pretty good guage - especially for pressure and temp. Makes me think I should have just bought cheap taiwanese ones for 1/4 the price. Just when I need a good boost and AFM guage as well. So what is a goodie for accuracy - not just for bling. :?:
