so yesterday i was hanging out with a friend that recently did his twin turbo swap to his nissan 300zx, and what really called my attention was his boost guage!

i think i'd have to see how it was placed in his car. i think a lot of what makes something look good is the environment it's in and it's location in the car.

personally i prefer the TRD gauge, mainly because it only goes up to 10 PSI and says "TRD" on it :D

Go for it! Definitely doesn't look bad at all. I kinda like the GlowShift gauges, but they often have their logo real obvious on the gauge and it looks tacky to me.

The prosport guages are really nice for the money. I like them and plan on buying them for the solara soon. They make a y-band for tuning also.

There again, the gauge goes up to 30 PSI. So your needle isn't gonna be moving very much across the gauge.

ya but i think thats the same with most gauges now kinda. My friends cobalt ss sc gauge hardly moves. it reads in KPA, and VAC but it never EVER goes even half way up the gauge and its stock, its hard to come by low measuring psi gauges aside from the trd one i think
