Analog or digital boost gauge and tube/wire routing? CTSC low boost whipple

[TomCat]

Street driven and no real criticality...just monitoring for belt slip, etc...
Recommendations (and reasoning) behind style (analog-hose or digital-wire) and how to connect/route into the cockpit from the engine bay.
Thanks,
Tom

I'm also curious

We use both types of boost gauges commonly. It really comes down to person preference and price. The electronic ones are normally higher in cost, and will add to a longer installation time, due to the fact you have to wire it in, as well as plumb vacuum lines to the pressure sensor. HOWEVER, using electronic gauges will reduce the length of the vacuum line you would have to run inside the car if using a mechanical gauge.

So in short, both will be accurate for what you want to do.

Thanks!
I will probably go analog then...can you explain the easiest way to run it into the cockpit?

It honestly depends on where you're going to mount your boost gauge. If you're going to put it on the A pilar, running the vacuum line near the engine bay fuse box into the cabin that way, running it along the door sill would probably be the easiest way.

Good luck.
