I dont know if the heat wil hurt it...... im going to run it anyways......... and i dont have A/C..... I love the look of them on the A/C vents...... like mine.....


I run both......... it would behoove you to get a A/F gauge and not the sorry $40-50 one autometer sells..... The LM-1 has a output for a 2 1/16 gauge... just thought... Kyle

I prefer two numbers in the same gauge and the gauge in the middle like this.
It gets warm when I use the heater but not so much.

Homemade with industrial components.
The price is insane (high precision pressure senders and displays) but I was able to borrow the parts from my company

Not you rob your thread, but for boost pressure, is an electrical or mechanical gauge better/more accurate?

SLOWNESS, components alone are like $900, + gauge case + work.
Those are components for the chemical industry (stainless steel senders, precision +/- 0.1%, shock, water and heat resistant....)
If I had to buy them myself I would go for normal gauges.
Also digital isn't the best: it takes too much time to read. You can read a dial gauge much faster... very useful at WOT when things happens very fast!
