well then, I stand corrected. I have not hooked an analog gauge up along side of the interceptor unit. I guess I can save me some money and stick with this one then.
I am all about saving money. so I can give more to the gas companies.

Yes, you do get what you pay for, and when you pay for a Turbo GT, they are designed to be a tuner hotrod/ race car, with 230hp 275ft-lbs of torque with a nice stiff GT suspension, Sport sway bar, 4 wheel anti lock brakes, etc.

DreamCruiser4, Obviously you didn't read the referenced post. Mino was wondering what gage was the CHEAPEST. That was what my comment was based on.

Unless you are into the turbo you will not show boost. I have the Aeroforce as well as an Autometer C2 boost/vac gauge. The Aeroforce (very easy install) reads exactly the same as the Autometer gauge for vac and boost.

So in answer to the original question-the easiest install is the Aeroforce. When you take into consideration the other 30 readings you can get on the Aeroforce I would also say it is the cheapest as well.
