Boost gauge question??
I ordered a paxton novi 1000 supercharger kit for my stang and i was looking to order a boost and a fuel pressure gauge that i was going to mount on a pillar pod. Now i know that the fuel pressure gauge has to be electrical if you want to mount it in the car but im seeing both mechanical and electrical boost gauges . Just curious which one to get and the advantages aor disadvantages of them

You can run either a electrical or manual boost gauge...I run a manual myself...Its cheaper and does the same thing...You jsut ahve to route alittle hose in your car that is easy as pie...the electrical would have a sending unit and would only have wires going into the car...

Fuel psi gauge!!
you can run a mechanical gauge in the car, This is how they work, attach to your fuel psi regulator, then it goes to a preasure sensor on the firewall, the side that goes to your gauge needs to be filled with coolent. It's kind of a pain in the ass, but they work good!!!!
