They have several. Which did youy choose?

I have a custom one. It has a rectangular window and white lettering at the bottom. You can set your limit and it will blink when you get there, it does some other cute things.

Here is a close enough version.

You can just see it here...bottom right.



You can also see it in the bottom right corner of this quicktime mov.

Looks like the interior of KITT. ....

For a quick a quick look I like the Autometer #2601, since my target boost is 15 psig.


but for diagnostic purposes, I like to datalog with my Zeitronix boost sensor...

I have the 0-30 vdo boost gauge shown on the left, and like it because 15 PSI is at 12 o'clock, and it's easy to read the difference between 15 and 15.5 psi (since it is placed under the stereo, quick reading is a high priority). For vac readings I check my Greddy EBC (which shows it in -ve PSI to one decimal place, but you get used to it)

How'd you get your clock to display temperature???

Sorry a little OT, but what should the vacuum read at idle?

18 to 20 at sea level when warmed up.

I have the Autometer since it was cheap

I usually see 12-14 when cold going ~18in.hg. when warm.

Can't beat Summit's prices on them.

does anyone know where i can get one of those "mount anywhere" gauge pods? they're kind of like gauge pods on a swivel or something, and you can mount them almost anywhere. i found them once, now i cant find them.....

i'm better off with that, or finding a 968 cubby, cuz i dont think anyone makes a-pillar gauge pods in burgundy....







edit- nevermind, found them on the summit site......

You can easily paint one to match. I think I have even seen it on rennlist somewhere...

Couldn't you just use the LCD with the zt-2 as your boost gauge.. use it for both a gauge and datalogging.. kill two birds with one stone?

Just a personal preference, I like the stock look from the Autometer 2601 guage. The picture I posted is from the Summit Racing website; however, the one I got in my car does not have the yellow vacuum scale, it has all white numbers and so it matches perfectly with all my other guages.

well I havent seen anyone post one like mine so here is another option. I went with the digital becuase I wanted to easily see the boost at a quick glance. Plus this gauge has memory so actually you can keep your eyes on the road under high speed runs and then just hit the button and it will tell you the low and high.
