Construction & Design

The AutoMeter Boost Gauge features a traditional mechanical design that relies on a bourdon tube movement, which directly measures pressure via a sealed, flexible tube that expands and contracts with boost levels. The dial is housed in a durable chrome bezel, providing a sleek, classic appearance that complements performance vehicles. The face of the gauge is designed with high-contrast markings and a clear, easy-to-read scale, ensuring quick and accurate readings even during spirited driving.

The included nylon line kit and 1/8” NPT fittings are engineered for durability and ease of installation, allowing you to connect the gauge directly to your vehicle’s intake manifold or boost source. The incandescent lighting around the dial perimeter offers excellent visibility at night, with a warm glow that enhances readability without overpowering the interior lighting. Overall, the design emphasizes reliability, ease of use, and aesthetic appeal, making it a perfect addition to any performance build or monitoring setup.

Performance & Sound

As a mechanical boost gauge, this instrument provides immediate, vibration-free readings that are unaffected by electrical interference. While it does not produce sound or affect engine performance directly, it plays a critical role in helping you monitor and manage boost levels effectively. Accurate pressure readings enable better tuning and prevent over-boosting, which can lead to engine damage. The gauge’s robust construction ensures consistent performance over time, giving you confidence in your engine’s health and performance.

Installation & Fitment

The AutoMeter Boost Gauge is designed for straightforward, bolt-on installation. The included 1/8” NPT fittings and nylon line kit simplify the process, allowing you to connect the gauge directly to your vehicle’s intake manifold or boost source.
