Review on πŸ“ˆ Turbosmart 52mm 0-30 PSI Boost Gauge for Gated Boost Control Valves - Black by Amy Cook

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Pretty average, good for the price

This is pretty much just your inexpensive standard mechanical boost sensor. It will ride in the same class as Prosports, GlowShift, Depos and other Chinese-made products. However, the sensor works and appears to be accurate (although my example says about -2 inches of vacuum when the machine is off, but here it could be 6,000 feet). I gave the product three stars based on the above combined with the fact that the thing is just too bright. Most of us are going to place them on the A-pillar or some other place in sight, and this thing is just stupidly bright. It lights up your face like a 300 lumen flashlight and stays that way even without a dimmer. If you're the kind of person who wants to make sure everyone around you in traffic can see you have a sensor, this is for you. If you want to see where you're going at night, especially on mountain trails, choose something else. Overall I would not recommend.

Pros
  • Best in niche
