I know most of you kow this already, but this is ridiculous. I went through four boost gauges. SINCE MARCH! Last year I used Autometer all season with no problems at all. This year the Phantom Boost gauges kept getting all fucked up. The first two I killed, liked to sit at 5 inHg with the car off after about 2-3 weeks of use. The last one I tried was an Ultralite, wich is the one that let me down the most. It would register I was running 14 psi of boost, while I was really running 20. Not good for tuning, nor for bragging. The big let down was with the Ultra-lite regarding my track runs. I was really excited that I trapped 118mph on 14 psi and was telling everyone the good news. However, I was suspicious after the fact, since last year I only managed 112 on 25psi. Granted that was a smaller turbo and a less efficient head, but the point remains. So I tested the gauge with a real vaccum/pressure tester, and I found what the gauge thought was 14 psi was really 20psi. (thank god my tune was set for 20psi last year.) I am not as mad about trapping 118 on 20psi, but I AM FURIOUS THAT A COMPANY WOULD MAKE SUCH A SHITTY PRODUCT THAT COULD HAVE ENDED MY SEASON RIGHT THEN AND THERE. I understand it was my own stupidity for buying a product I heard bad things about, but I hear good things too and you can’t trust everyone that has something to say. Don’t ask what happened to #3…It died a horrible death. Pics to come. 😉 Summary. DON’T BUY AUTOMETER!!! As you will think you are the low b00st master, but really, you have an average car, that is about tro go p00f. :tdown: BTW: My new Stewart Warners are amazing and sexxy. Edit: I was pissed when my warranty was declined. ![http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/Jskrapper/P3120760.jpg](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/Jskrapper/P3120760.jpg) ![http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/Jskrapper/P3120759.jpg](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/Jskrapper/P3120759.jpg) ---

Don’t suppose I could get one of those broken ones off of you. Would be a ton better than that tire-pressure gauge I’m using. Even if it is off. ---

take gauge with screwdriver in it set on the counter at your napa type up a sign describing the problems take picture of it all send to autometer and tell them you want a full refend for all the $ youve spent on their boost gauges inform that when you receive a check, the lil display will come down receive check laugh that you pissed of someone at autometer ---

> [@FormulaLS1](#): > > lol stupid gauges…hell if you did 118 on 14psi you would be fucking flying on high b00st I know. 😢 Seriously though 20 psi is still somewhat low boost for what my plans are, so I am not all that dissapointed. 25psi is where it will be at…I’m shooting for 120 on pump. (until I build my bottom end.) ---
