Jerky a lot, just use your MM3

I didn't like the way my MM3 looked in my rack so I got factory fitted boost and pyro. This is cheap junk that is considered a quality knife. After about 25psi, the boost pressure sensor will twitch a little. If you buy them from Revain, you can also bump sand by calling the autometer. It looks really good!

Pros
  • Boost gauges
Cons
  • Legacy model

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Almost perfect for factory calibers.

The sensor matches the factory instruments very well. Note that you will need Autometer #9114 Dimming Module if you want to dim with the factory instrument cluster, and beware of the fairly severe needle hopping. I called tech support and they sent me a fuel pressure damper that should alleviate the needle jump issue.

Pros
  • Engine parts
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Not as best described in Engine Parts

OEM Silver Faceplates. The bezels of these "factory watches" are chrome-plated. Noticeable, not the same. So not as described. Second, I installed boost sensors and pyrometers side by side and connected them to the same light source. Pyro dims, no boost sensor. Good. I knew I should have gone with a different brand, dumbass. Thanks again AutoMeter for another poor quality product.

Pros
  • Engines and Engine Parts
Cons
  • New Competitors Appeared
