Post Anyone have an HKS EVC IV and aftermarket Boost Gauge?

If so, how does the boost readouts compare? Is the Boost on the HKS accurate? I'm wondering if I need an extra boost gauge....

Jax,
I have one in my 951, but I have not dialed it in yet and will be able to give you info. on this once it is. Feel free to email me (profile), I should have it going by the middle of next week.

BTW,
I also have a aftermarket boost gauge too. I'll let you know how close they are to each other.

Cool - I'll look forward to hearing your results. By the way - you're going to have a hell of a time getting that thing set up right. I still don't understand proper operation of mine...

I gottem too. Autometer on the A-pillar, and HKX in the centre storage bin.

Yes they do read the same, but the guage is a lot easier to see when you're driving!

I use an HKS w/peak hold. Fairly accurate. I've taken MoTeC dumps and compared. The HKS reads a little on the high side, probably due to the momentum of the needle.

why do you use a HKS if you have a Motec???
Doesn't the Motec has Boost control?
