Default Bad *** gauge...wait, import co...F#!@

So I need a fuel pressure gauge for my nitrous kit I ordered and was going to get an autometer and came across this. I know its from a turbo manufacture for imports and all, but both my intake and wideband are AEM and I think they are both awesome units. Oh, and its only $70, plus they match my white face escalade gauges. Here are pics..



This pic is the night illumination(I know its a fuel press. gauge and not a boost but they light up the same)


So what do you guys think? If you feel like giving me the for this it's ok, I can take critisism

I think it would be sweet if your interior was fully colormatched white.

Does it come in PSI instead of the metric one shown?... It would get kind of annoying always looking at metric numbers.

greddy is TURBO stuff, VERY high quality from what i hear, not just import stuff, kinda like turbonetics doesnt make just little turbos for 4cyl,. motors.

i say get them IF:

they come in psi instead of kg/cm /\ 2
the rest of your gauges are white face with green illumination, like autometer NV
they arent outrageously priced

LOL ... I would sell that one for half priced if I had an abundance of them and no one could understand them too.

1 kg/cm2 = 14.223344 psi

1 psi = 0.070307 kg/cm2

Isn't that just boost measured in bars? 1=roughly 1 atmosphere (14.7psi)
So the .5 would be 7.35psi etc...

Slightly different if you go with the calulations given at the top.

Learn to read ricer or pony up for the psi gauge
