guages?

from what ppl are saying, its better to get a mechanical boost guage over an electrical one, and the others can be electrical. but duz it really make that much of a difference? i wanted to get the autometer c2's, and got a pretty good deal thats pretty hard to pass up. and i think it wud look weird if i had 2 different types of guages if i got a/f guage c2 and diff one for boost.

can anyone explain exactly how much the difference will be between a mechanical and electrical boost guage? because if its not THAT much different i'll probably get the c2's newaiz

im not commenting on which to get electrical or mechanical....
ALL I KNOW is that the C2's suck.
everyone i know has returned them because they work like crap. Just my 2 cents.

mechanical or electrical

depends on the shop, some places wont do mechanical due to liabilities,
electrical most places do, but the guages are like 3 times as much,

mechanical boost is fine bc its just air
fuel and oil pressure mechanical, flow those fluids into the guage which is inside the car and if the car was to catch fire it has a greater chance of getting inside the car than it would if it was electrical
