Default Boost gauge question

Is it worth the extra $$ to buy the Auto Meter with the memory and the warning on it? Thanks!

I see no reason to go that route. Once you have your system dialed in you will know where your boost level is at. Put the extra $$$ toward something else.

I Paid the extra for the auto meter and I don't regret it. It is nice to know what your peak was and the warning is nice too.

I love mine. It works great for the peak recall. However, the "warning light" isn't really bright enough to be noticible when you are romping on it. But you can see it if you keep it in the corner of your eye.

I wouldn't mind having the memory option.

Thanks for the replies! I went ahead and ordered one. That way I won't be pissed that I didn't.
