Default FS Auto Meter boost gauge BRAND NEW!!! [SOLD]

I bought this gauge just two weeks ago. This is the 2 5/8" diameter gauge, model number 5801. Because of where I am mounting it, I would rather get the smaller 2 1/16" gauge.

It is brand new, I opened the package but never installed it. It comes with all the mounting hardware, tubing, etc. and instructions.

I paid $50 plus shipping, I'll sell it for $50 shipped to anywhere in the lower 48 states. I take paypal and will ship within 24 hours of payment. Please PM me.

[SOLD]

Well.................not that I haven't thought about it................

I have to consider reliability over HP though.

My dash plans have changed, the larger gauge will fit, but it will be a bit tight, that's why I was thinking of using the smaller sized gauge.

Yeah Jim, what are you going to do with such low boost? That's peanuts, aren't you going to run 25 to 28 like ST?

Guage looks nice. Just dont clean it with WD 40 OK? J/K -->

If that gauge went to 25 I would be all over it like a hog in warm mud.

25 psi at the track and my engine wouldn't last one day. Besides, (fast through the turns) is faster than (fast on the straights).

WD40 is the oldest track trick in the book...you've been out of the loop too long!

Not if you have the right MAF, chips, optimal turbo, and tons of xylene pal! We can make it last a few laps! And "overall momentum" is what wins races, and yields fastest laps. Forget about just turn, straights, or threshold braking points. The WD 40 is old scool, I know that smarty. That's a quick fix. But if you had big money riding with sponsoship dollars backing you, you want to make it "shine" for a corporate executive who may be walking by the pits!



Landjet: Why don't you get one that goes to 30PSI, you never know?

Thanks, but no thanks for me too!. I'll leave the 23 to 30 PSI to Special Tool and all his magical xylene that he uses.
