Default Gauges?
Looking at some pro sport evo digital gauges as opposed to the stepper needle gauges...

But wondered if better to get boost gauge in psi or bar??

Also - are digital evo gauges preferred to stepper analogue gauges?

Cheers for advice...

Ryan

Do like look digital - hence the quest...

Do tuners usually work in bar or psi for boost?

Tuners work in either and will generally not use your gauges to go by anyway, I personally prefer the analogue faster to read at a glance without "looking" at what the numbers are, but I have boost in 3 different places less I get confused in my old age!

I had steppers in the hawk and then digital in the blob.

I like both, but if I were to fit them again I think I'd stick with the steppers. I just like sweeping gauges!!.

The Digital are easier/quicker to read as as well as the digital bar around the edge, there is obviously the number in the middle.
