Title: glow shift gauges, any one tried them or heard anything?
Post by: RabbitJockey on December 03, 2006, 01:03:22 pm

saw these on ebay, looks like a good deal, obviously a cheaper gauge, but for that price, and with them all matching...  i'd like to buy the set then throw in a air craft spruce probe with this gauge and see what's good.  i read reviews online and looks like they are good business as far as service, but the quality of the product is what i am curious about, just wondering if any of you have tried these

Friend of mine had one of those boost guages. It always read 2psi less than actual. You get what you pay for. I'd rather stick with a known brand like VDO, Autometer, etc.

thanks for the suggestions, you have saved me grief, i have a vdo gauge and it's a vision series which is supposed to be nice and it always read low. at 0 psi it read likes -1 or 2
