xrt Member 160 Member For: 16y 11m 27d Posted 03/12/09 08:26 AM Share Posted 03/12/09 08:26 AM are there many people that use the mechanical cobalt boost gauge?from what im looking at the electric one is about $150 more, I dont know if I can justify the extra money when its going to display the same reading,im guessing the mechanical gauge will be abit slower to respond being a pneumatic signal rather than an electric signal, but still I think I can deal with that.is there any other bad points?
