Attitude Only Accurate to 42lbs

According to Edge, the Attitude monitor is only accurate to around 42lbs. Evidently this limitation is because they are reading from the Dodge stock sensor.

With this limitation in mind I need a an analog 60lb boost gauge (for the new turbo) and will probably install tranny temp gauge at the same time. It looks like Autometer has both in it's "Ultra Lite" series. Are these well made & accurate gauges? Do they match the stock instrument panel well? Does anyone make better gauges that match the stock instrument panel?

Thanks,
Ron

Di procol makes gauges that match the stock gauges. I have an autometer ultra lite boost gauge in an SRT pillar and I like the way it looks, and it works well, but I wish I would have gotten the matching ones.

Di Procol gauges match really well, even the illumination is pretty dead on. I have the ultra lite gauges with blue LED's and I love them, the silver looks really good!!

My Attitude boost readings are accurate to about 30-32psi. They quickly fall below actual boost readings on my Autometer Ultra-Lite after that. I have never seen the Attitude boost readings over 36psi even when I am at 45+psi on the Autometer gauge.

I have Autometer Ultra-Lite gauges (pyro, 60psi boost, trans temp and fuel pressure). They do not match the stock gauges at night, but I am very happy with the gauges for functionality. All except the fuel pressure have been installed well over a year now.

Thanks for the feedback and problem confirmation. I'll look into the DP's as well.

I thought that Geno's had a boost bolt for the intake manifold but I couldn't find it on their website. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Not sure, but seems most have said they include the boost bolt with boost gauge kit. Call and ask. You can order one from http://www.piersdiesel.com/DodgeProducts.htm but it will cost you $18 + shipping.

I believe that the isspro gauges are closest to our stock guages. As far as accuracy between the big 3, Autometer, Di-pricol, and isspro could be debated
