Be careful - electrical

works as advertised, make sure you heat the hose with hot water before attempting to use it, this will help you straighten the hose and avoid kinks or breakage.

Pros

Cons
  • has something or not everything is fine

If you want accuracy, this isn't the sensor for you.

As with some other reviews of this gauge, mine is not calibrated properly and I have to send it in for repair. Ease of installation. I installed it on a Dodge Challenger 5.7L with a Whipple supercharger.

Pros
  • Mechanical mechanisms provide precision and reliability in even the harshest environments.
Cons
  • Available in white only.

Auto Meter is the king of spares

I have had several Auto Meters and add Auto Meters to every car I buy. I bought this sensor for my supercharged boat. The meter is fast and accurate. The vacuum is accurate enough to set up my double pump and it's always fun to see "BOoST" :)

Pros
  • Race proven mechanical Auto Meter tools provide reliable accuracy with easy installation
Cons
  • Problems

much better than the electronic sensors I previously ordered

much better than the electronic sensors I previously ordered. I installed this sensor in my turbo 3sgte mr2. I had to use multiple hose adapters to fit the vacuum line I was planning to use and the supplied air hose tends to kink at the tighter bends. It's pretty tough stuff.

Pros
  • No electrical system required for the sensors to work - compatible with any street or race car
Cons
  • Good but not great
