Anyone ever use these? I found them on ebay for like $45. Just wondering if they are any good.

its complete shit, ive got it. The needle doesnt rest at 0 instead it rests at like 1 or 2, the needle gets stuck and it uses an ungodly huge vac source line although it looks cool its not worth it.

DONT GET IT

Those eBay one sucks. In the daytime it is not bright enough for you to see it. At night it's fine, but it doesn't work correctly. Buy Defi.... or other name brands. At the worst, get autometer.......

Ok well it looks like those are scrapped. I was lookin around for the defi gauges and found the defi bf 60mm boost gauge with amber/red LEDs. They are on ebay for about 180 and then I need the defi meter control unit II for about 80 so thats 260. Not bad for a good boost gauge. Thanks for the info.

I guess they're inaccurate sometimes but they fix themselves after a while. I have one. Havent had any problems with it yet.

If you want a guage that blacks out, like someone else said get Defi. If I could do it over again I would, but Greddy arent bad, just more rats nest.

Autometer are kind of for people who wish they werent cheap, but won't splurge for the good guage. You get what you pay for...

Autometer gauges are actually pretty good besides the boost gauge, for some reason alot of them end up reading a bit off after a while.
