Boost Meter - Mechanical type?

[Pakdamek]

Hi...
I don't know if this is a dumb question or not. But I still wanna ask you guys.

What is the difference between mechanical & non-mechanical boost meter?

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

mechanical need boost small pipe to directly connect to meter... (the small pipe like vaccum from turbo)


EL type need that pipe to connect with sensor..then sensor only joint at meter with wire.....

Got any difference? which is better?

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

not sure about that....


if me i prefer mechanical type..less part that can be faulty (easier to trace)

and less messy wiring?





but it just me....maybe other ppl got their own opinion...

I had used both mechanical and non mechanical.
Both also same brand, APEXI.

Non-mechanical (electronic)-
Like :
1. the jarum will move when u start the engine (like DEFI)
2. can record the highest/lowest boost
3. NO hose behind the meter, just a small wire going to the controller

Dont like :
1. the sensor usually place inside the engine - easily to spoil due to heat
2. more expensive (have to buy controller some more)

Mechanical
Like :
1. sensor in the meter itself, so can last long (no heat)
2. cheaper and more choices

Dont like:
1. hose coming out from behind the meter, depend on the location u place the meter, sometime can be disturbing.
2. cannot record, no moving jarum when start etc
