#36659, "Mechanical or Electircal which should i get?"


          

Ok, I am ordering 2 more guages for my turbo setup. I am gonna get an egt and fuel pressure guage. I think im gonna get the full sweep electrical guage but it is discontinued but i should be able to get one. My real question is the phantom series fuel pressure electrical guage ive been lookin at is also discontinued and i havent been able to find one so would the mechanical be ok or which other one would you guys recommend getting. Lookin for phantom series guages btw. Thanks in advance. emoji

Is the fuel gauge going to be mounted inside the car, or under the hood? If you're planning to mount it inside, you MUST get an electrical gauge. You DO NOT want to run a fuel line inside the car!!!

As for any other gauges (boost, egt, etc...) I'd say go electrical as well. They cost a little more, but the installation is much cleaner. I went with mechanical boost and EGT and if I had it to do over again I definitely would have gone electrical.

I am looking for a electrical fuel gauge also. The one that came with my kit only goes to 85 PSI.

Autometer has the full sweep electrical fuel pressure gauge in the Ultra-Lite, Phantom, and Cobalt series. Autometer fuel pressure gauges are kinda pricey though, $189.95 for the Ultra-Lite from Summit Racing.

Here's the one I would recommend....

A friend of mine has the Greddy boost and EGT. They are beautiful and very accurate!! If you don't mind it reading in metric, I'd say go for it.
