IC THANKS.

Anyway, I know Mechanical are not as accurate as electronic.

And Nippon Seiki's Defi gauges are the best on the market...I'm sure some of you would know.

[B]Mechanical reads the boost by tapping into the intake system, while an electrical gauge would tap into the electical system, or the ECU...not sure where.

I installed Auto Meter 30 psi electrical boost gauge and connected the boost hose the way Wesmaster's pic above. Some how the gauge showed about 16 psi as I reved to 9K. I don't think this is normal, it should shows only 6 psi. Anyone has any idea or know what is wrong please let me know your opinion. Thanks,

First of all if the AutoMeter boost gauge is connected to the vacumm system its a mechanical gauge.

The Auto Meter electrical boost installation is the same with Jenner's sample installation picture above.
