yeah yeah go ahead and make fun now.. but seriously, what's the difference in the gauges from Autozone and the ones from where-ever-the-hell??? I mean, maybe the name of the brand may be different, but as long as they look decent and work, then I dont see the big deal except 50 dollars cheaper. I will be boostin in late april hopefully if everything works out, and I"m slowly buyin stuff I need. So this was a thing I saw on the 'net and just curious.. Thanks guys.. (no I'm not one of the guys doing the autozone ricing extras)..peace

2 major differences. Quality and Accuracy. End of story. If I'm putting a turbo kit on my car and want to minimize the risk of a $2000+ rebuild you can bet your ass I'll spend the extra $50 on an Autometer or Greddy gauge that is going to be precise as opposed to some RACTIVE or Fast and Furious gauge.

BTW, autometer is also considered cheap. I've read a lot of people with probs with autometer gauges (jumpy needle, inaccuracy, etc.). It all depends on how good of a gauge you want. Some good expensive ones are Defi and Omori. I think they run around 200 per gauge though.

Yup, just because its popular doesnt mean its good. Get some research going on.
